First location to be in Monon Marketplace across from Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana
INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESSWIRE / December 20, 2016 / Noble Roman's, Inc. (OTCQB: NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor and
licensor of Noble Roman's Pizza, today announced that it plans to open its first location for the company's new-generation,
stand-alone pizzeria concept during the week of January 30th. Dubbed Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub, the pizzeria concept promises
a hint of nostalgia with a modern flair and substantial new innovations. The first location will be in 4,000 square feet of the
newly constructed Monon Marketplace on Main Street/Highway 32 across from Grand Park in Westfield, Indiana, a prosperous and
growing community on the northwest side of Indianapolis.
Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub harkens back to the company's early history when it was known simply as "Pizza Pub." Like then,
and like the new fast casual pizza concepts today, ordering will take place at the counter and food runners will deliver orders to
the dining room for dine-in guests. Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub will feature many exciting enhancements over the current
competitive landscape. As the name implies, the restaurant will feature two styles of hand-crafted, made-from-scratch pizzas with a
selection of 42 different toppings, cheeses and sauces from which to choose. Beer and wine will also be featured, with 16 different
beers on tap including both national and local craft selections. Wines will include 16 high quality, affordably priced options in a
range of varietals. Beer and wine service will be provided at the bar and throughout the dining room.
The pizza offerings will feature Noble Roman's traditional hand-crafted thinner crust as well as its signature deep-dish
Sicilian crust. New technology and extensive R&D are bringing amazingly fast cook times, with oven speeds running only 2.5
minutes for traditional pies and 5.75 minutes for Sicilian pies. And not just individual pizzas, as most fast casual concepts, but
medium and full-sized large pizzas as well – an essential component, the company believes, to offer that full-fledged pizzeria
experience where dinnertime meals are a shared experience. Traditional pizza favorites such as pepperoni are obvious options on the
menu, but also offered will be a fun selection of original creations such as "Pig in the Apple Tree," a pizza featuring bacon,
diced apples, candied walnuts and gorgonzola cheese. The menu will also feature a selection of contemporary and fresh,
made-to-order salads such as "Avocado Chicken Caesar," and fresh-cooked pasta like "Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo." Baked subs,
hand-sauced wings, a selection of desserts and, of course, Noble Roman's famous Breadsticks with Spicy Cheese Sauce also make the
menu!
Additional enhancements will include a glass enclosed "Dough Cage" where Noble Roman's Dough Masters will hand make all pizza
and breadstick dough from scratch in customer view. Also in the dining room will be a "Dusting & Drizzle Station" where guests can
customize their pizzas after they are baked with a variety of toppings and drizzles, such as rosemary infused olive oil and Italian
spices. Kids (and parents!) will enjoy Noble Roman's root beer tap, which is part of a special menu for customers 12 and younger.
Throughout the dining room and the bar area will be a number of large and giant screen TV monitors for sports and the nostalgic
black & white shorts featured in Noble Roman’s earlier days.
Scott Mobley, president of Noble Roman's, said of the new launch, "We believe Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub is the most
exciting development for the company since it pioneered the non-traditional pizza venue. This stand-alone pizzeria concept is the
culmination of some of the best of our history combined with all-new, leading edge technology and recipes to produce what we think
will be a terrific growth vehicle for the future." According to Mr. Mobley this first unit in Westfield is expected to open the
week of January 30th, and will be company owned and operated. Said Mobley, "We are a franchise services company, but it is
important for us to establish and operate this first unit or two as company operations so we can define and model the standards of
operation going forward as we franchise future units."
