Uncle Maddio’s is a next generation pizza restaurant that lets guests build their own pizza exactly how they want it, cooked in fast baked ovens, and served to their tables in about six minutes. Guests choose from one of three crusts, including a delicious gluten-free option, and 48 toppings, including six sauces, 27 vegetables and 15 meats. Everything is fresh, from the pizza dough and sauce that’s made in-store each day to the wide variety of veggies. For guests looking to expand their pizza horizons, Uncle Maddio’s also offers signature pizzas ranging from the meaty Big Max to the Steak & Blue. Create-your-own salads and Foldwich™ sandwiches round out the Italian-inspired menu. The restaurant also offers a selection of craft beers and wine.
“Our locations in Charlotte and Huntersville have been incredibly successful and we plan to build on that success for our third location,” said Jerry Licari, Uncle Maddio’s franchisee. “This is only the third of many Uncle Maddio’s we have planned for the greater Charlotte area.”
The Charlotte Uncle Maddio’s is owned and operated by franchise partners Jerry Licari and Tim Verhagen. They opened their first two Uncle Maddio’s restaurants in 2014; the first in Overstreet Mall and their second in Huntersville. In total, the partners have signed on to open eight locations across the Charlotte area, making them one of the largest franchisees for the brand.
“Jerry and Tim are proven franchisees that have built a great following in Charlotte,” says Matt Andrew, CEO and founder of Uncle Maddio’s. “There is a lot of opportunity to build out new locations in around Charlotte and they are the guys to help us expand in the area.”
