Concept
Firepie brings more simplicity, quality, and convenience to our busy lives, with a focus on the $44B pizza industry and 92M millennials, many that expect and demand higher quality food and a “Now” delivery experience.
Combining a simplified high-quality menu modeled after In n Out Burger, proprietary mobile logistics technology, and a next generation operational model, Firepie creates elastic high speed delivery networks in major cities delivering high quality wood fired pizza “on-demand” in about 15 minutes.
This next generation operational model deploys custom designed Portable Kitchen Facilities (PKFs) equipped with large 900-degree Italian wood burning ovens geographically tied to its routing and logistics technology. These units are strategically deployed in proximity to densely populated high demand neighborhoods in major cities.
