Pizza Fusion was born in February of 2006 out of the (not so) genius minds of Michael Gordon and Vaughan Lazar. Weeks prior to Lazar getting married, the two college mates began brainstorming how they could do something different that would not only that would spark their creative juices, but start a business that would make a difference in people’s lives. After a few meetings and several “not so genius ideas” later, Pizza Fusion was born. They realized that there was a huge void in the restaurant sector that allowed people to eat “fast food” Organically and Naturally. Yes, it was simple to go to the nearest Whole Foods or Wild Oats, but where could you go and grab this type of food on the run... or better yet, have it delivered to your door!

Even though Gordon and Lazar felt that by providing the public with Organic and all-natural pizzas, salads, sandwiches, wines and beer was an awesome idea... it still wasn’t complete. What good would they be doing this fragile earth if they had followed the same practice of allowing their food delivered in a broken-down car. They took their concept into a whole new world... they decided that they would buy their OWN delivery cars, and not just any cars... HYBRIDS! All of Pizza Fusion’s delicious food is delivered in their company owned, Hybrid delivery vessels. With gas-prices reaching all-time highs and the low impact that these cars have on the environment, it seemed like the only way to go!
So Fresh, Delicious, All-Natural and Organic food delivered in only Hybrid delivery vessels sounds like all the bases were covered... not for Gordon and Lazar. They made it their mission to care not only about the quality of food, the quality of the environment, but realized that one last piece was missing... the quality of their work environment. Michael and Vaughan wanted the culture and dynamic of the Fusion Family to be treated as carefully as the food and the environment. They opted to offer all employees working more than 20 hours a week to have Health Insurance and even have secured deals for their employees at local fitness centers. They realized that maintaing a healthy workplace not only made sense, it was the key to their business. Great employees and great food would prove to be the makings of success.

The founders of Pizza Fusion were committed to the integrity of this entire concept. They agreed early on that if it doesn’t feel right, then don’t do it. They lived by the mantra that “All Things Happen for a Reason”. That leads us to where we are today... back in August of 2006, Randy Romano walked into the first Pizza Fusion store in Deerfield Beach to see what all the buzz was about. The second he walked into the store and tried the pizza, he wondered why this idea wasn’t in every town across the globe. You see, Randy’s background is in franchising awesome ideas like Pizza Fusion. He went home and pulled up this very website to see if it was a franchise and the second he saw that it was just lil ole Deerfield store only, his entrepreneurial fire started burning. Ironically, what Romano didn’t know was that his soon-to-be Son in-law, was Vaughan’s childhood friend. A call was made, a meeting was had... the rest is history, or soon to be history! And now Romano, Gordon and Lazar are determined to bring their recipes of delicious, Organic and all-natural food right to YOUR door!
