Pizza Parlor Insurance

Pizza Parlor Insurance Program from Demetriou Group

Demetriou Group offers a focused Pizza Parlor Insurance program built for the unique operational and delivery risks of pizzerias, pizza parlors, and pizza delivery operations. As a Managing General Agency (MGA), Demetriou Group gives independent agents streamlined access to multiple carriers and underwriters experienced with food service risks, helping you place new or renewal business more efficiently.

Ideal Accounts and Appetite

This program is tailored for a range of pizza-focused operations, including:

• Independent pizza parlors and dine-in restaurants
• Take-out and delivery operations
• Franchise locations (subject to underwriting)
• Fast-casual or limited seating pizza shops

Preferred submissions are accounts with established loss controls, documented safety procedures for kitchen and delivery staff, and complete prior loss histories. Accounts with consistently maintained premises, routine training for delivery drivers, and prior coverage are the best fit. High-risk features (e.g., large-scale catering, extensive late-night operations, or chronic open-flame exposures without controls) will require additional review and may be restricted.

Coverage Highlights and Advantages

The Pizza Parlor Insurance program provides a flexible package of commercial coverages to match common exposures in this niche:

• General Liability for third-party BI/PD exposures
• Property coverage for buildings, equipment, stock, and refrigeration
• Business Income & Extra Expense for interruption recovery
• Liquor Liability where liquor sales are present
• Commercial Auto available for delivery vehicles
• Workers’ Compensation offered through select carriers

Because Demetriou Group works with multiple markets, agents can often secure admitted placement where required or explore non-admitted options to expand capacity for tougher risks.

Underwriting Notes and Minimum Premiums

Submissions should include a completed application, current loss runs, and specific details on delivery operations (numbers of drivers, vehicle types, GPS or telematics usage, and delivery radius). Typical underwriting considerations include cooking equipment (deep fryers, broilers), hood suppression systems, fire protection, and hours of operation. Businesses that operate past midnight, or that use independent contractors for deliveries, will receive closer scrutiny.

Minimum premiums vary by state, size of operation, and chosen coverages. Contact Demetriou Group for the program's current underwriting guidelines and minimums.

Example fits:

• A neighborhood pizzeria with dine-in seating, 6–10 employees, and company-owned delivery vehicles — clean loss history and documented kitchen fire suppression.
• A small regional franchise with multiple locations, centralized safety protocols, and a record of prior coverage — suitable for admitted placement where available.

Territories and Availability

This program is available to licensed agents in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Coverages can be written on an admitted basis where applicable and subject to carrier authority and state regulation.
