Eatza Pizza was a buffet-style restaurant chain founded in Arizona in 1997. As recently as 2007, it was one of the largest all-buffet pizza chains in the United States, with 112 locations in 14 states and Puerto Rico.[1]

History

In March 2007, Eatza Pizza was bought by International Franchise Associates.[2] The corporate headquarters was moved from Arizona to Westport, Connecticut in 2007, following the purchase.[3] In July 2008, International Franchise Associates filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. At that time, only 5 Eatza Pizza locations were left.[3]

Menu

Their menu included at least 18 varieties of pizza, along with salad, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and a fried potato dish called Zatos. When it was based in Scottsdale, the chain had 112 restaurants open or under development in Arizona, Alabama, California, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio and New Mexico, and Puerto Rico.[1]
