Pizza Factory Expands Northern Nevada Presence with New Local Ownership in Reno and Carson City

April 23, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // RENO, Nev. – Pizza Factory is strengthening its presence in Northern Nevada as two locations enter a new chapter under local ownership.

Kevin Trigilio has taken ownership of the Carson City restaurant, while Jeramie “Maya” Keller now leads the Reno location.

The Carson City and Reno locations have undergone ownership changes in line with a transition to local operators in markets with continued demand for fast-casual dining and community connection. In Reno and Carson City, consumers are increasingly seeking approachable, high-quality dining options that balance convenience with a welcoming, dine-in experience, an area where Pizza Factory has built its reputation over more than 40 years.

Trigilio took ownership of the Carson City location in December 2025, bringing both entrepreneurial experience and a strong understanding of restaurant operations. As the owner of Finbomb Sushi and a former automation engineer, he was drawn to Pizza Factory’s guest-first approach and community-centered model. Since taking over, he has already begun building local partnerships with schools and churches while positioning the restaurant as a family-friendly hub.

In Reno, Keller assumed ownership of the Lakeside Drive location in February 2026, bringing decades of professional experience and deep ties to the local community. After more than 20 years living and working in Reno, including a 27-year career in the powersports industry, Keller was drawn to Pizza Factory’s reputation as a neighborhood gathering place. Since stepping into ownership, he has focused on strengthening team culture, enhancing the guest experience, and expanding local partnerships with organizations like the Boys & Girls Club.

“I was introduced to Pizza Factory as a place where families and neighbors connect, which really lined up with what I wanted to see in my business,” said Keller. “I’m honored to carry on that legacy and look forward to continuing to support this community.”

Both locations will continue serving Pizza Factory’s full menu of fresh, never-frozen hand-tossed pizzas, pastas, wings, sandwiches, and salads, along with dine-in, takeout, delivery, and catering options.
