In 1932, Vito Barraco, my grandfather, opened his first business, Vito's Tavern, on the south side of Chicago. After 13 years of thriving business, my father, Nicholas Barraco, joined my grandfather in business with intentions to expand Vito's Tavern. The expansion started with a limited menu of Italian dishes prepared by my grandmother, Mary Barraco. Vito & Nick's soon became a welcomed name in the hearts of the neighborhood.
Shortly after, my mother, also named Mary Barraco, added the first pizza to the menu. The recipe was a cracker thin true original pizza that made its mark on history! By the early 1960's the name Vito & Nick's had become a household name known for having the "Best Pizza Anywhere".
Like Father, Like Son...I, Nicholas Barraco II, continued my father's objective with the further expansion of Vito & Nick's. Working in this business my entire life, I have been fortunate enough to open two restaurants named Vito & Nick's II ®. Thanks to all the wonderful people I have served over so many years, Vito & Nick's II ® has achieved great success. Thank You!
It was our resolution, after 10 years of research, to develop a process in which we can deliver the finest fresh frozen pizza, anywhere! Today, all our aspirations have come to be, Vito & Nick's II ® is now serving the nation.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
