Boston Pizza Pizza

Boston Pizza is a quintessential Canadian success story, despite its American-inspired name. Originally founded in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1964 by Gus Agioritis, the brand has grown to become Canada's top casual dining restaurant chain. The brand's expansion was fueled by Jim Treliving, a former RCMP officer who opened his first franchise in 1968 and eventually acquired the entire company with his business partner George Melville.

While the brand maintains a presence in the United States and Mexico under the 'Boston's The Gourmet Pizza' banner, the core of its manufacturing and operations is centered in Canada. The ingredients, such as the signature pizza dough and proprietary sauces, are typically sourced through local supply chains within each country of operation to ensure freshness and regional support. Today, the brand remains under the private ownership of Boston Pizza International Inc., which oversees hundreds of locations across North America from its headquarters in British Columbia.
