Pizza Inn is a franchised pizza chain from Dallas, dating back to 1958, with a buffet in its restaurants and a thin crust it calls Original Thin.
Online ordering and eGift cards are the parts of the brand you can reach from its website. Each restaurant is independently owned, so a refund question goes to the location that took your order.
Pizza Inn began when two brothers from Texas opened the first restaurant across the street from Southern Methodist University. Between 1960 and 1990 the chain spread through the southeastern and southwestern United States. The brand points to its crispy, made-from-scratch crust and a tangy house sauce as the features that have stayed the same.
Several menu firsts are credited to Pizza Inn: the Taco Pizza in 1979, a dessert pizza called the Pizzert in 1986, and the Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza during the 1990s. The chain belongs to Rave Restaurant Group, sells franchises, and its website includes a nutrition calculator, a locations finder and a PizzaPedia section.
