    The food is amazing and the prices are unbeatable! Our pizza is second to none, but our incredibly diverse menu featuring Happy’s Famous BBQ Ribs, chicken and seafood sets us apart. There’s something for kids, mom, dad, grandma and grandpa too. Our chain-wide buying power enables us to feed the whole family, using the finest quality ingredients, for $15-$20. Our concept is fresh, our brand is hot and the ROI is super fast.


  • QUALITY & SPEED

    Restaurant Business Magazine ranked us #10 in their Future 50 fastest-growing restaurant chains. Our goal is to expand across the country, but we’re careful to maintain the quality and consistency of our product. Every item within our extensive menu is prepared within 10-15 minutes. Speed makes our customers happy which makes for a quick return on this investment.

  • HAPPY'S UNIVERSITY

    While the store undergoes Happy’s classic build-out, operators gain admission to The University of Happy’s Pizza. After one week of training in our corporate offices in Farmington Hills, MI, and 14 days of in-store management and training at an open location (more training may be needed), graduates are completely groomed for success. Once a store is open, our support staff helps you with marketing, inventory control, staffing, prep and food 

    updates. Our quarterly meetings and management workbooks make for smooth operations and a happy future.
