Pizza lovers in central Ohio could be eating green by the end of this year, if all goes as planned for a small outfit in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Pizza Fusion’s founders, Vaughan Lazar and Michael Gordon, have begun parlaying their handful of Earth-friendly restaurants in Florida into a nationwide franchised operation.
A franchisee based in Pennsylvania owns development rights in an area that includes central Ohio and will begin opening restaurants in March, starting with a suburban Pittsburgh unit. Plans call for a central Ohio restaurant by the end of the year, although a location has not been announced.
Lazar and Gordon “were college buddies who wanted to start a restaurant, and at the same time try to be kind to the environment and feature healthy foods,” said Randy Romano, executive vice president in charge of franchising.
