List of pizza chains of the United States facts for kids
Have you ever wondered about all the different pizza places in the United States? This article is a list of popular pizza chain restaurants that started in the United States. A "chain restaurant" means a company that has many locations, often with the same menu and look.
Some pizza chains are "national," meaning you can find them all over the country. Others are "regional," meaning they are mostly in one specific part of the U.S. For example, a chain like Grimaldi's Pizzeria might be found in many states. But a chain like Casey's has many more locations, even though most of them are in the Midwest!
