Based out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Pizza Fusion is a new take on America’s favorite food. Pizza Fusion is committed to serving up delicious, gourmet pizza in its purest form—untainted by artificial additives like preservatives, growth hormones or pesticides. While Pizza Fusion primarily serves pizza, their organic menu features an eclectic variety of gourmet sandwiches, salads, desserts, beer and wine. Additionally, Pizza Fusion proudly offers health conscious alternatives for customers with selective diets and food allergies, such as gluten-free pizza, brownies and beer and vegan selections.
From LEED certified restaurants to a commitment to organic produce, Pizza Fusion works outside the boundaries of the traditional business model to create an organization built around integrity, operating on the belief that social responsibility is just as important as profitability.
