According to Antioch Pizza Shop's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for a truck or trailer ranges from $60,000 to $120,000. This cost covers purchasing either a truck or a trailer along with a truck that meets Antioch Pizza Shop's standards and specifications.
The estimate also includes the cost of the required equipment and its installation in the truck or trailer, adhering to Antioch Pizza Shop's operational standards. Additionally, the cost of the wrap for the food truck or trailer is included in this estimate. The food truck or trailer needs to provide 200 to 250 square feet of cooking space to house the required equipment.
The FDD specifies that the truck or trailer does not have to be new, but it must be in good operating condition. Required equipment includes ovens, a pizza make table, work top tables, a POS system, a reach-in cooler, a cheese shredder, pizza warmers, shelving units, a 3-basin sink, dough rollers, a microwave, an electric stove, a food processor, an air fryer, and small wares. The franchisee will make payments to an auto dealer as incurred in a lump sum.
