Pizza Nova, the Toronto-based premium pizza restaurant chain, and Oak View Group, a leader in premium live entertainment infrastructure and services, announced a multi-year agreement making Pizza Nova the official pizza partner of Hamilton’s TD Coliseum. The partnership brings Pizza Nova’s authentic and iconic pizza to the city’s newly revitalized sports and entertainment venue. As part of the agreement, Pizza Nova will serve guests at the downtown 18,000-seat arena that hosts major concerts and events this year. “Venues like TD Coliseum bring communities together to share memorable moments,” says Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova. “We are proud to be part of this experience and to bring to local fans the same commitment to quality that has been at the heart of our success since 1963.” The new TD Coliseum location expands Pizza Nova’s presence in Hamilton. The company currently has over 150 locations across Southern Ontario and with the recent opening at Nebo Centre on Rymal Rd in Hamilton, the chain continues to grow in the region. Over 60-years in operation, the family-operated business continues to use family recipes, traditional preparation methods and sourcing of the freshest, locally grown ingredients for the artisan pizzas. The restaurants specialize in fresh toppings and offer a wide range of menu items including salads, lasagna, panzerotti, Italian sandwiches, chicken wings, etc. The locations are generally in a 1200 to 1500 square foot range in highly visible street and plaza locations that offer convenient access. In addition, at the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas in late March, Domenic Primucci was named a Top Executive at Pizza Marketplace’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers awards, a global ranking that recognizes leaders and brands shaping the future of the pizza industry. Pizza Nova was also ranked among the top-performing brands, placing twelfth overall and was the only Canadian brand.
