Pizza Inn, headquartered in The Colony, Texas, has been part of the Dallas-Fort Worth community since its first restaurant opened near SMU in 1958. From that single location, the brand expanded across the South, staying true to its hometown values along the way.
At its 2025 annual awards ceremony, Pizza Inn named Alex Calderon as the recipient of the Bobby Clairday Award—an honor given each year to a franchisee recognized for delivering exceptional customer experiences and for going above and beyond to help fellow operators succeed.
“Franchisees like Alex are the heart of our brand,” said Pizza Inn leadership. “His dedication to guests and his willingness to support other operators reflect the values we’ve built our business on for more than six decades.”
Pizza Inn supports its operators through site selection guidance, marketing resources, and hands-on training, with a continued focus on transparency, community connections, and operational excellence. Calderon’s win reinforces the company’s commitment to creating franchise success stories right here in North Texas.
The award not only celebrates Calderon’s achievements but also underscores Pizza Inn’s enduring legacy and forward momentum in the marketplace.
