The Studio’s Creations
The Pizza Studio’s menu is pretty straightforward — there’s pizza, salads, and wings. But with a twist! What makes it unique is the “high-quality ingredients” that go into making the pizzas.
First, it starts with the crust. “Our crusts are baked in rosemary, whole grains, flaxseed, firecracker spice, gluten-free, and traditional styles,” the menu reads. Then there’s the tomato sauce, “freshly grated mozzarella,” and toppings galore.
“Creating something unique from the crust up is one of the simplest, greatest joys in our lives,” the franchise says. “We search relentlessly for the best [ingredients], and we treat every ingredient with equal importance. If we’re not raving about it, we haven’t found the best yet.”

The brand’s pizzas are 11” in diameter and cut into six slices. Customers can choose to create their own pizza or select from the pizzeria’s specialty pies. These include: truffled mushroom, buffalo chicken, the beast (made with meatball, pepperoni, ham, bacon, and sausage), the vegan, backyard BBQ chicken, and big cheese Margherita.
For customized pizzas, customers can pick from the restaurant’s six signature crusts (traditional, rosemary and herb, firecracker — made with a fiery cayenne pepper blend, cauliflower, whole grain and flex seed, or gluten-free crust. Then comes the toppings — cheeses, premium meats, premium sauces, and a variety of veggies. Finally, add whatever oils and spices to complete the savory meal.
