Pizza Nova to open second location in Courtice, Ont.

Toronto – Pizza Nova plans to open a second location in Courtice, Ont., to be run by Jawaid Said – the chain’s 146th store.

Scheduled to open this summer, the 1,200 square-foot store is located at 1649 Durham Regional Road 2.

The new location, which has been under construction since March, will be operated by experienced Pizza Nova franchisee and proud member of the Courtice community, Jawaid (Joe) Said, who has worked with Pizza Nova since 1999. Both Courtice locations will be operated by the Said family.

Jawaid Said commented: “Our first location has done well over the years and I’m very excited to open up this second location with my family by my side helping to both serve and delight existing and new customers.”

An opening celebration will be held on July 25. Pizza Nova will offer a special loot bag to the first 100 guests and a special offer of a small cheese or pepperoni pizza for $3.99 with proceeds donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association of Durham.

“Expansion is a great feeling,” said Domenic Primucci, president of Pizza Nova. “It’s especially nice to see a family of entrepreneurs like the Said family succeed and grow its impact in the community and for the benefit of new staff, customers and other partners and neighbours.”
