Your Pie Heating Up 2026 with New Growth

Tech driven insights, menu innovations and new market expansion fuel the brand’s next phase

ALPHARETTA, GA. // FranchisePR.com // July 8, 2026 — Your Pie, the Ischia-inspired pizza brand known for its customizable brick-oven pizzas and open-kitchen dining experience, is continuing through 2026 with renewed momentum fueled by smarter systems, strategic market expansion, mouthwatering new menu items, and a franchise community demonstrating exceptional resilience in a competitive restaurant environment.

With two stores planned for late summer in Savannah, GA and Hernando, MS, Your Pie is laying the groundwork for thoughtful, sustainable growth during the second half of the year. The brand continues to focus on targeted expansion across key regions including Wilmington, Norfolk, and other high‑opportunity Southeast markets.

Following major system upgrades in 2025, Your Pie is now fully leveraging insights from its integrated tech stack, including Toast (POS), Tattle (guest experience), and Thanx (loyalty). Combined with enhanced data analytics and emerging AI capabilities, these tools are shaping menu innovation, operational improvements, and new support initiatives designed to strengthen franchisee performance.

“As consumer spending becomes more intentional, we continue to see guests prioritize value, quality, and experience. Despite rising prices across the industry, customers remain willing to invest in restaurant experiences that deliver product excellence, hospitality, and accessibility,” said Ken Caldwell, CEO of Your Pie. “Your Pie’s focus on customizable, high‑quality pizza served the way guests want it, when they want it positions the brand to meet these expectations head‑on. And above all, our franchisees continue to show incredible grit, delivering standout experiences in a challenging climate.”

One of Your Pie’s most exciting menu innovations this year was the Cubano Craft Series, a limited-time menu built around a simple idea: great food evolves. The Cubano Craft Series demonstrated the power of flavor innovation to drive momentum for the brand, combining on-trend ingredients, cross-category menu offerings, and a strategic partnership with Texas Pete to increase guest engagement and brand visibility. It quickly became one of Your Pie’s top-performing limited-time offerings, generating more than $279,000 in sales, selling 23,600 items, and appearing on 4.1% of all systemwide transactions during its run in early 2026.

Building on the strong performance and guest enthusiasm generated by the Cubano Craft Series, Your Pie is set to unveil another highly anticipated seasonal favorite later this year with the return of its award-winning Peach Craft Series. Anchored by the fan-favorite Peach & Prosciutto Pizza, the limited-time menu celebrates the brand’s commitment to handcrafted recipes, peak-season ingredients, and culinary innovation.

Together, the new menu items reaffirm Your Pie’s commitment to menu innovation that blends culinary creativity with approachable flavors, giving guests fresh reasons to visit while strengthening the brand’s reputation for craveable, conversation-worthy limited-time offerings.

The second half of 2026 will bring product news and menu evolution, informed by data‑driven insights and guest feedback. Additionally, Your Pie is leaning into the growing opportunity within catering, which represents a significant long‑term growth opportunity for the brand.

Inspired by a honeymoon visit to the Italian island of Ischia, founders Drew and Natalie French set out to bring the island’s vibrant food culture and wood-fired pizza tradition to the U.S. That vision came to life in 2008 with the opening of the first Your Pie in Athens, Georgia, where the brand introduced a fast-casual experience centered on customizable brick-oven pizzas, hand-tossed dough and fresh ingredients. As it looks ahead, Your Pie is building on that foundation with a focus on strategic growth across high-potential markets, operational strength and continued franchisee support.
