Turn-Key Pizza Shop in Charming Vermont Town – 40-Year Local Favorite
Business Description
Mountain High Pizza – Jericho, Vermont
Turn-Key Pizza Business with Nearly 40 Years of Local Love – Profitable, SBA-Qualified, and Ready for New Ownership
Nestled in the scenic hills of Jericho, Vermont, Mountain High Pizza has served up hand-crafted pies, warm service, and community connection since 1985. With a nearly 40-year reputation as a local staple, this family-run business is more than a restaurant—it’s a community institution. Now, after over a decade of proud ownership, the current owners are preparing for retirement and looking to pass the torch to a passionate new owner who can continue its tradition and take it to new heights.
Proven, Consistent Profitability
Mountain High Pizza generates $138,000+ in Seller’s Discretionary Earnings (SDE) annually and has been professionally valued at $421,000. It has a strong customer base, low overhead, clean books, and no debt, making it SBA loan-eligible for qualified buyers. It even increased profitability during the COVID lockdown, thanks to a loyal following, efficient operations, and a reputation that transcends marketing.
This is a true cash-flowing opportunity in a high-barrier-to-entry market—ideal for a new owner-operator, couple, or culinary entrepreneur looking for a stable, rewarding business with upside.
Custom-Built, Fully Equipped Facility
The 1,810 sq ft facility was custom-built in 2016 specifically for efficient pizza operations and is leased under favorable terms with a supportive landlord. It includes:
Full commercial kitchen with Blodgett 999 ovens, walk-in cooler/freezer
Logical workflow with prep area, dishwashing zone, POS station, and front counter
Dining furniture for dine-in service and picnic table seating
Full HVAC system and proper commercial ventilation
POS system, security cameras, and equipment with $71K fair market value and $139K replacement cost
The space is clean, compliant, well-lit, and fully operational. No deferred maintenance, no surprises.
Room to Grow
While the current owners have kept operations streamlined, there are clear and actionable growth opportunities for a motivated buyer:
Add online ordering and delivery partnerships (e.g., DoorDash, Uber Eats)
Launch a catering program for schools, events, and local businesses
Expand hours (e.g., lunch service, Sunday opening)
Introduce other high-margin menu items
Build a stronger digital and social media presence
All of these are low-cost, high-return opportunities with immediate impact potential.
Supportive Handoff & Flexibility
Owners are offering 30–60 days of in-person training, plus vendor handoff, recipes, process documentation, and optional extended support. More comprehensive training may be included with a full-price offer. The team is committed to a smooth and positive transition.

$138K+ SDE, clean books, strong EBITDA
SBA financeable
Custom-built space with all systems in place
Loyal, repeat customer base
Room to grow with little added investment

- Facilities & Assets
- We have been a community favorite since 1985, operating out of a custom-built, well-maintained facility in the heart of Jericho, Vermont. The space was professionally built out in 2016 specifically for efficient pizza restaurant operations. It features a thoughtfully designed layout that supports both dine-in and takeout service, with a strong emphasis on kitchen flow, prep efficiency, and customer convenience. The current owners have run the business for over a decade and have continually invested in its maintenance, equipment, and systems.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Mountain High Pizza is a long-established local favorite with a nearly 40-year presence in the Jericho market. There is limited direct competition in the immediate area, and the business has a loyal, repeat customer base. It has remained consistently profitable year after year, even growing profits during the COVID-19 lockdown.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Strong growth potential through online ordering, third-party delivery (e.g. DoorDash/Uber Eats), catering, expanded lunch hours, and social media marketing. Current operations are stable but under-optimized for digital or off-site sales, leaving room for a new owner to grow revenue. Space and equipment support expansion easily.
