About Breadeaux Pizza
When their favorite pizzeria closed in 1984, convenience store owners Jim and Jennifer Larkin knew they had two options--live without pizza or start their own pizzeria. The couple took the entrepreneurial route and opened the first Breadeaux Pisa location in 1985.Fifteen years later, the company, which makes pizzas with a thick French crust, had more than 60 locations operating under the Breadeaux Pizza name. Each restaurant serves a variety of entrée and dessert pizzas (such as Taco or Apple Cinnamon), submarine sandwiches, hot wings, breadsticks, pastas, salads and cookies.
