Pizza that's healthy – and yummy too

From its start in California as a family-owned restaurant, Round Table Pizza has built its success on innovative, fresh, great-tasting pizzas that customers crave. The dough is rolled from scratch every day. The zesty red sauce combines 11 herbs and spices, and the blend of whole milk mozzarella, smoked provolone and aged cheddar cheeses is fresh, never frozen. All pizzas are abundantly topped with your choice of premium meats and garden-fresh vegetables.

    After more than 45 years, Round Table has expanded to some 500 restaurants and remains a place where families can relax and share a superb pizza. The Round Table website, rountablepizza.com, will help patrons find a restaurant in their area, and the site also includes a listing of specialty pizzas available.
