Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub Selects DoorDash as its 3rd Party Delivery Service Partner

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESSWIRE / January 7, 2019 / Noble Roman's, Inc. (NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor and operator of widely acclaimed Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub, announced today that it has selected DoorDash to provide 3rd party delivery service for its restaurants. As of January 3rd, the service was fully implemented and available through all four company operated locations: Westfield, Carmel, Fishers and Whitestown.

Noble Roman's selected DoorDash as its delivery service partner following a year-long test at both a Craft Pizza & Pub restaurant and a non-traditional, neighborhood carry-out and delivery location. With its service record and strong presence in the metro areas north of Indianapolis where the company's Craft Pizza & Pub operations are currently located, Noble Roman's determined that DoorDash was ideally suited for partnership selection.

According to Scott Mobley, president and CEO of Noble Roman's, "We are very excited about our partnership with DoorDash. We believe our prior testing of their service indicates that this will open up a significant window of new opportunities with guests who are not currently frequent customers of Craft Pizza & Pub. Our intent is to allow this venue to grow organically through the native DoorDash environment while at the same time fully promoting our own Pizza Valet curbside delivery service for carry-out customers. In combination, the two services greatly enhance the convenience factor of Craft Pizza & Pub in addition to the great dine-in atmosphere for which we are already highly recognized." Mobley went on to state that all Craft Pizza & Pub pizza boxes going out with DoorDash will be specially marked with links to an online DoorDash satisfaction survey that Noble Roman's controls so it may better monitor the 'last mile' satisfaction of its guests choosing this service venue.

About Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub

Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub is intended to provide a fun, pleasant atmosphere serving pizza and other related menu items, all made fresh in customer view. In January, 2017, Noble Roman's opened its first company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub restaurant in Westfield, Indiana, a prosperous and growing community on the northwest side of Indianapolis. Since that time, three additional Craft Pizza & Pubs have been opened in Whitestown, Fishers and Carmel, IN as company-owned restaurants. Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub is designed to harken back to the company's early history when it was known simply as "Pizza Pub." Like then, and like the new full-service pizza concepts today, ordering takes place at the counter and food runners deliver orders to the dining room for dine-in guests. The company believes that Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub features many enhancements over the current competitive landscape. The restaurant features two styles of hand-crafted, made-from-scratch pizzas with a selection of 40 different toppings, cheeses and sauces from which to choose. Beer and wine also are featured, with 16 different beers on tap including both national and local craft selections. Wines include 16 high quality, affordably priced options by the bottle or glass in a range of varietals. Beer and wine service is provided at the bar and throughout the dining room.

The pizza offerings feature Noble Roman's traditional hand-crafted thinner crust as well as its signature deep-dish Sicilian crust. After extensive research and development, the system has been designed to enable fast cook times, with oven speeds running approximately 2.5 minutes for traditional pies and 5.75 minutes for Sicilian pies. Traditional pizza favorites such as pepperoni are options on the menu, but also offered is a selection of Craft Pizza & Pub original pizza creations like "Swims with the Fishes" and "Pizza Margherita". The menu also features a selection of contemporary and fresh, made-to-order salads and fresh-cooked pasta. The menu also includes baked subs, hand-sauced wings and a selection of desserts, as well as Noble Roman's famous Breadsticks with Spicy Cheese Sauce.

Additional enhancements include a glass enclosed "Dough Room" where Noble Roman's Dough Masters hand make all pizza and breadstick dough from scratch in customer view. Also in the dining room is a "Dusting & Drizzle Station" where guests can customize their pizzas after they are baked with a variety of toppings and drizzles, such as rosemary-infused olive oil, honey and Italian spices. Kids and adults enjoy Noble Roman's self-serve root beer tap, which is also part of a special menu for customers 12 and younger. Throughout the dining room and the bar area there are many giant screen television monitors for sports and the nostalgic black and white shorts featured in Noble Roman's earlier days.

As Scott Mobley previously stated, "Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub is the most exciting development for the company since it pioneered the non-traditional pizza venue. This stand-alone pizzeria concept is the culmination of some of the best of our history combined with all-new, leading edge technology and recipes to produce what we think will be a terrific growth vehicle for the future."
