About Azzip Pizza

Azzip (pronounced "Ay-Zip") was conceived as an idea by founder Brad Niemeier while in college. As a student, Brad won Purdue's Burton D. Morgan Business Plan Competition and $20,000 to launch the business. With the help of friend Blake Kollker, an accomplished chef, Azzip's menu and concept went from business plan to reality. With mom as his accountant, dad as his handyman, and brother rolling dough, Azzip sold its first pizza on February 5, 2014, in Evansville, IN. Since opening, Brad has recruited other family members and friends to join the business to help spread Azzip to new pizza-loving customers.

Azzip Pizza is a fast-casual pizza company with 13 company-owned locations across Indiana and Kentucky. At Azzip, we value creativity, a fun work and dining atmosphere, meaningful relationships, and serving delicious pizza. More information on Azzip can be found on the website at
