Working Manager in Place · Lease to 2036 · $179K Catering Book
Profitable, established New York-style pizzeria and catering operation on a prime corner storefront in Lower Manhattan's Two Bridges neighborhood. 9+ years at location with a documented and growing catering book serving 3 Manhattan hotels, a national catering platform, and direct corporate clients.
FY 2025: $1,122,864 revenue | $267,250 Adjusted EBITDA (23.8% margin) on a semi-absentee basis. Owner-operator upside: $345,250 SDE (30.7%) for a buyer who replaces the working manager. All revenue ties to source documents — POS exports, Slice, Uber Eats, Grubhub, EZCater, and 53 hotel catering invoices.
WHY THIS DEAL CLOSES FAST:
• Working manager in place at $1,500/wk — buyer can run semi-absentee from Day 1
• Lease firm through Dec 2031 with 5-year option to Dec 2036 — rent pre-set entire term
• Documented catering book: $179K in 2025 (EZCater grew 148% YoY)
• Zero paid marketing to date — biggest unexploited growth lever
• Seller financing available for qualified, experienced operators
2,000 SF total (1,000 SF ground + 1,000 SF lower level prep/walk-in). Two stone-deck pizza ovens, full prep kitchen, Clover POS + Slice integration, 4.6? Uber Eats rating. Lean 6-person W2 team in place.
Asking $389,000 = 1.46× Adjusted EBITDA — well below the 2.5× Manhattan pizzeria comp median. ~17-month payback at FY 2025 run rate. Asset sale. 4-week post-closing training included. 3-year, 3-mile Manhattan non-compete.
Inquiries by NDA only. CIM, financials, and site visits available to qualified buyers post-NDA.

- MARKET POSITION
Located in one of Manhattan's densest daytime corridors at the seam of Two Bridges, Chinatown, Civic Center, and the Financial District. Daytime demand from a major NYC university (approx. 8,000 students), NYPD Headquarters, state and federal court complexes, City Hall, and the Financial District workforce. Weekend traffic from One Manhattan Square, the Brooklyn Bridge approach, and the South Street Seaport.
CATERING ADVANTAGE
Recurring accounts with three Manhattan hotels, a national catering platform (approx. 148% YoY growth), and direct corporate clients — a transferable B2B revenue stream most independent NYC pizzerias do not have.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Limited direct competition from similar-format independent NY-style pizzerias in the immediate corridor — buyers are encouraged to verify independently (national chain delivery does not compete for the dine-in, daytime worker, and B2B catering segments). Approx. 4.6-star rating across major platforms. - Opportunities for Growth
- MARKETING & BRAND — THE LARGEST UNEXPLOITED LEVER
Approx. zero paid marketing spend to date. No paid digital advertising, no active social media, no email/SMS, no PR. Approx. $1.12M in revenue achieved entirely through organic walk-in, repeat customers, and platform visibility. Modest paid digital targeting the 1-mile radius could drive meaningful lift given existing 4.6-star ratings and dense daytime population.
CATERING EXPANSION
Approx. 40+ hotel properties within a 1-mile radius represent additional B2B pipeline. No dedicated corporate sales effort to date. Wedding and private event channel is undeveloped.
PLATFORM OPTIMIZATION
DoorDash not yet activated. Delivery platforms operating without optimized menu pricing, photography, or promotional spend.
OPERATIONAL LEVERS
Extended operating hours, menu engineering, and a simple loyalty program represent additional revenue and margin upside.
