What Summitly does — and doesn’t
Summitly's franchise practice is run by Coldwell Banker Summit Realty, a real estate brokerage specialising in franchise locations across Canada. We help you secure, hold, and exit the real estate underneath your franchise. We are not a franchise consultant or recruiter.
We handle
- Site search and site approval coordination for your franchise locations
- Commercial lease review, negotiation, and renewal
- Resale brokerage when it’s time to sell — confidential marketing, buyer prequalification, lease assignment
- Coordination with the landlord, lender, lawyer, and franchisor real estate team
We don’t handle
- Franchise applications, brand approval, or franchisor selection criteria
- Training, supply chain, operations, or marketing programs — those stay with the franchisor
- Picking a brand for you — that’s a business decision we’ll respect, not influence
Pizza franchise market in Canada
Canada has strong national pizza brands like Pizza Pizza, Boston Pizza, and Pizza Hut, plus growing regional players. Delivery-first pizza shops can open in lower-rent industrial flex space. Dine-in concepts need high-visibility corners or plaza endcaps.
Buying a pizza franchise
Decide first if the brand is delivery-first or dine-in heavy. Delivery brands work in cheaper sites with strong residential density nearby. Dine-in needs visibility and parking. We help you find the right fit for the brand.
Selling a pizza franchise
Buyers look at delivery sales, dine-in sales, lease term, oven age, and delivery driver setup. Multi-unit pizza owners often sell in territory packages. Sale timelines run 3 to 9 months.
Common mistakes pizza franchise buyers make
- Opening a delivery-first concept in a low-density area without enough houses to deliver to
- Picking a dine-in heavy brand for a location without parking
- Signing a lease without an exclusive use clause — another pizza tenant can move in next door

Questions
Pizza franchise real estate: common questions
Quick, honest answers to what franchise buyers and sellers ask us most.
Delivery-first pizza shops start around $200,000 all-in. Full dine-in pizza restaurants run $500,000 to $1.5 million. Brand fees, ovens, and build-out are the main drivers.
Depends on the brand and the city. Delivery-first has lower rent but you depend on third-party apps. Dine-in is higher rent but stronger brand-building. Both are real options.
Many do. Most major pizza brands offer a protected delivery radius. Always confirm the territory in writing before you sign. We can help you read the territory clause.
