Joey Karvelas

Joey Karvelas, founder and owner of Karvelas Pizza Company, embarked on his pizza journey at the age of 12, working at his father’s pizzeria, where his passion for the craft blossomed. Gaining valuable insights into entrepreneurship and moneymaking early on, Karvelas explored the restaurant industry and discovered he possessed a flair for food and creativity. In 2014, he bravely launched Karvelas Pizza Company, initially starting in a small 800-to-900 square-foot building. The business offered pick-up and delivery. As Karvelas Pizza Company began to flourish, Joey transitioned his focus to enhancing the dine-in experience and established the pizzeria as a sought-after foodie destination. With steadfast support from his family, guided by his faith and backed by a dedicated team, Karvelas Pizza Company now boasts six thriving pizzerias. Joey attributes his success to his faith, family and the committed team that helped transform his pizza dream into a reality.
