Hot pizza has found a minority investor in hot chicken wings.
The craft-your-own PizzaRev chain has restaurants in Northridge, Studio City, and Woodland Hills.
PizzaRev was founded by long-time entertainment industry executives Irv Zuckerman and Rodney Eckerman.
“The PizzaRev team is thrilled to have Buffalo Wild Wings invest in our business. Their strong track record and stellar reputation within the industry make them an ideal partner as we strive to reach new customers excited by our concept,” said PizzaRev co-CEO Eckerman. “It’s exciting to have a similarly innovative brand like Buffalo Wild Wings take notice,” he said.
“Over the past year, Buffalo Wild Wings has been investigating emerging restaurant concepts with high growth potential as we continue to build our dynamic company,” said Kathy Benning, Buffalo Wild Wings executive vice president. “Along with chicken wings, pizza is one of America’s most popular foods and we believe that PizzaRev has great potential for continued growth and success.”
“We believe that our relationship can have immediate impact in accelerating our growth in Southern California and beyond establishing a leadership position in the fast casual landscape,” said PizzaRev co-CEO Zuckerman.
