Bottom line
- Total investment $376K – $637K including a $25K franchise fee, 5.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated MODERATE with a risk score of 57/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 169 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.

Risk & Legal
Pizzawala's presents CAUTION-to-HIGH RISK profile due to undisclosed financials, going concern status, minimal unit count, and unproven franchisee economics in an early-stage system.
Score breakdown · what drove the 57 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE — indicates potential financial instability or undisclosed operational challenges at corporate level
- 02MINORNo Item 19 financial disclosure — average unit volumes and profitability completely hidden, making ROI analysis impossible
- 03MINORMinimal franchisee base (only 3 units) creates extreme concentration risk and questions viability of support infrastructure
- 04MINORHigh investment range ($376K-$637K) paired with unknown revenue potential is a major red flag without earnings data
- 05MEDEarly-stage system growth (50% YoY on 3 units = only 2 units existed prior) suggests unproven model and limited franchisee track record
