PITCH MAN
Entrepreneur extraordinaire Willy Theisen is back with his next big business venture
W
illy Theisen has accomplished amazing feats in
the restaurant business. He founded a national name brand in Godfather’s Pizza that became the fastest growing pizza chain in America. He’s been a successful innovator, franchisor and franchisee. He’s opened thousands of restaurants across the country. He’s a millionaire many times over. He’s far from done, too, as he’s about to replicate his latest concept, the popular Pitch Coal-Fire Pizzeria in Dundee (which, by the way, serves much more than just really good pizza). Always hungry for “the next thing,” you can bet Pitch won’t be his last hurrah either. >>
