"As Good as the Great Outdoors"

About Idaho Pizza Company

Our Pledge to You

We will make every effort to ensure the success of the Idaho Pizza Company franchise. This effort will provide more opportunities for customers, franchisees, and employees in the years to come!

How it All Began

Don Cantrell started working as a bus boy, at the age of 16, for a California pizza franchise. He was with this franchise for over 27 years, and through hard work and determination he became the proud owner of 9 franchised restaurants in Idaho and Washington. What an accomplishment! After dedicating himself to being a successful franchisee for several years, he decided to start his own franchise, which resulted in the concept of Idaho Pizza Company. Don started franchising Idaho Pizza Company restaurants in September of 1998. The franchise currently includes 16 restaurants across Idaho and provides jobs to over 300 local families. Having been in the pizza business for many years, Don really knows what it takes to be successful in this industry, which is evident in the Idaho Pizza Company restaurants we see today!

Idaho Pizza Company Owners

A New Chapter

On July 1, 2007, having decided to retire, Don sold the Idaho Pizza Company franchise to John and Leah McNicholl and their 4 children, Justin “Bubba”, Chrissy, Craig, and Lorana. Having successfully owned and operated the Meridian, Nampa, and Caldwell Idaho Pizza restaurants since 1999, they know the business and what it takes to make it exceptional! They credit their success, first and foremost, to being fully dedicated to their employees and customers, not to mention hard work, enthusiasm, and fantastic pizza!

Keeping it Local

Being a locally owned and operated franchise, we pride ourselves in supporting our local economy. Idaho Pizza Company provides over 300 jobs to local families around the Treasure Valley. We also support our local farmers. Did you know that our flour and cheese are both made in Idaho and those two items alone account for approximately 32 percent of our food products? Not to mention our other locally sourced products such as produce, dairy products, and many other items. When it comes to being a local Idaho business, nothing says it better than Idaho Pizza Company!
