Is a Carbones Pizzeria franchisee allowed to sell supplies to other parties, and if so, what are the conditions?

According to the 2025 Carbones Pizzeria Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is restricted from selling or loaning supplies to other parties, with a specific exception. A Carbones Pizzeria franchisee may only sell or loan supplies to another Carbone's Pizza establishment. However, this is conditional, as it requires the prior written consent of the Franchisor.

This restriction ensures quality control and standardization within the Carbones Pizzeria franchise system. By limiting the supply chain, the franchisor can better maintain the integrity of the products used at each location. This protects the brand's reputation and ensures customers receive a consistent experience across all franchise locations.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they cannot independently operate as a supplier to other businesses. While there is a possibility of selling to another Carbone's Pizza establishment, it is not guaranteed and depends on obtaining written approval from Carbones Pizzeria. This condition is important for franchisees to consider, especially if they were hoping to diversify their revenue streams through supply sales.
