History

In March 2007, Eatza Pizza was bought by International Franchise Associates.[2] The corporate headquarters was moved from Arizona to Westport, Connecticut in 2007, following the purchase.[3] In July 2008, International Franchise Associates filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. At that time, only five Eatza Pizza locations were left.[3]

Fare

Their menu included at least 18 varieties of pizza, along with various other foods. When it was based in Scottsdale, the chain had 112 restaurants open or under development in Arizona, Alabama, California, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio and New Mexico, and Puerto Rico.[1]
