Pizza Persona was founded in 2011 by Chicago residents and former college roommates James Kinnaird and Jeffrey Zucker after working on the concept for over two years. They saw the desire in the marketplace for fresh food in a quick and affordable format, and decided to bring one of their favorite styles of eating, pizza, into that category. Not wanting to open “just another pizza place,” they decided to do something where customers could feel connected. James and Jeff founded Pizza Persona, allowing their guests to “discover their pizzanalities,” with over 11 billion fresh dough, sauce, cheese and topping combinations possible.
