Hunt Brothers Pizza was established by four brothersCharlie, Lonnie, Jim and Don Huntwho have been in the retail and wholesale pizza business since 1962. In 1990, the Hunt Brothers began distributing their original fresh-dough pizza under the Buffet Style Pizza name before changing the name to Hunt Brothers Pizza in 2004. In addition to the pizza and toppings, the company also sells and distributes all the equipment necessary to make the pizza, from the proprietary conveyor-style oven to a compact pizza shoppe with everything a c-store owner needs to get started in the pizza business.
