Godfather's Pizza
Formerly known as Global Property Inspections
Bottom line
- Total investment $711K – $1.3M including a $25K franchise fee.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 56/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 58 loans (below the industry average).
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

Overview
About
Franchisees operate traditional or non-traditional pizza restaurants (delivery, carryout, dine-in) under the Godfather's brand. Day-to-day operations include managing kitchen staff, managing inventory, handling customer orders, marketing locally, and maintaining food safety standards. Non-traditional models may operate in limited formats (kiosks, delivery-only) with lower overhead.

Risk & Legal
Godfather's Pizza presents meaningful risk: stagnant system growth, undisclosed financials, recent labor violations, and high capex with no earnings transparency.
Score breakdown · what drove the 56 / 100 rating
- 01MINORStagnant unit growth (1.0% YoY on 606 units indicates system contraction, not expansion)
- 02MINORNo Item 19 disclosure (average revenue and net income withheld — prevents ROI validation)
- 03MEDHigh initial investment range ($711k-$1.34M) with no disclosed profit benchmarks to justify cost
- 04HIGHRecent labor litigation (2022 FLSA class action settled Aug 2025 for $24k — suggests systemic compliance issues with wage/reimbursement practices)
- 05MINORUnprotected territory (franchisees compete directly with other Godfather's locations; no exclusivity)
- 06MINORWeak royalty floor ($150-350/week minimum may indicate struggling franchisees below threshold)
- 07MINOR5-year term only (shorter commitment period suggests franchisor expects higher turnover)
