The Future 50

Founded in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, in 1973, Snappy Tomato Pizza began franchising in 1993, and has since expanded across the U.S., with more than 70 locations in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, Missouri and New Mexico. The chain distinguishes itself with fresh-made pizza dough and sauce made from premium-quality tomatoes.

Along with pizza, Snappy Tomato offers a wide variety of freshly baked hoagies, salads and pastas made to order. In addition to delivery, takeout and eat-in dining, many locations also serve all-you-can-eat buffets.
