Small business loans for pizza restaurants are largely available and dependent upon the specific loan request that is being made. Pizza restaurant operators typically rely on banks and lenders for conventional loans, SBA loans and asset-based loans to fund their existing business or for the start-up of a restaurant.
There are various loan purposes to consider as a small business borrower, depending on whether the pizza shop owner is looking to:
- purchase an existing business
- obtain start-up financing for a new location
- seek leasehold improvements
- remodel or acquire real estate

How we helped the McGregors open a Toppers Pizza.
Aspiring entrepreneurs Jim and Heidi McGregor had 22 years of business ownership and management experience. When they approached Toppers Pizza about opening a franchise in Fort Worth, Toppers recommended BoeFly. We helped them accelerate success by finding a lender and secure an SBA loan from a Texas lender for $360,000 to cover start-up costs.
“It wouldn’t have been possible without the financing we secured through BoeFly. The process was clear and extremely efficient, and it allowed us to establish a relationship with a nearby bank that is funding our loan.”

Helping Papa Murphy’s get financing to expand their business.
The Slaughenopt family (Mark, Sharon and their son, Alan) owned and operated a successful Papa Murphy’s franchise in Hickory, NC, since 2011. When they decided to open a second store in Charlotte, NC, Mark said it was important that “when we decided to expand and open a second store, Sharon and I wanted the process of seeking an expansion loan to be as efficient as possible.” Papa Murphy’s suggested BoeFly—and Mark was overjoyed.
“BoeFly helped us connect with a bank and secure the financing we needed. We look forward to opening our second location and bringing quality take-and-bake pizzas to our customers.”
