TWO CONCEPT UNDER ONE ROOF – Where do you get a better deal than that?
The Mad Italian Gelato Bar is a unique existing concept, of Gelato Bars. The Gelato segment niche is growing in North America. Our menu consists of our famous Zazzu Hot Cones, classic salads, soups, exotic desserts & pastries, coffee program, teas, specialty beverages and 42 gelato flavors from an old family recipe from Italy. Each restaurant location is open 7 days a week from early morning to late evenings with an authentic Italian experience.
The Mad Italian is all about providing our customers with a comfortable, low stress experience for coffee, snacks and light meals. Stay 5 minutes or stay an hour. Have a quick gelato or one of our Zazzu Hot Cones, or linger over a delicious eggplant parmesan & arugula salad. The Mad Italian is all about comforting Old World choices for food.
The cold snack industry is in a growth phase with a number of new players emerging. The Gelato market has grown as well. Arising strictly within the Italian communities it is now well known around the world and enjoyed by people of all backgrounds. In Canada the artisanal ice cream market was about $234 M in 2009 with huge annual growth.
Gelato represents a number of advantages over ice cream in its appeal to the average consumer. Gelato is all natural, with fewer calories than ice cream. It is served at a higher temperature than ice cream which thereby provides a more intense flavor. The number of gelato shops in the city of Toronto has more than doubled in the last 10 years and will continue to grow as more and more people become aware of all the benefits of the product.
The ideal franchisee is a self-starter. He/She is a confident person who believes enough in themselves to have the confidence to take that step into independent business but also have the wisdom to seek help and guidance when they need it. We are looking for the individual who wants to nurture the growth of their business within the framework and model of The Mad Italian Philosophy.
Have TWO Concepts in one with the new evolution of Pizza in a cone NOW available in Toronto. The Mad Italian serves up its ZAZZU Hot Cones. Some like it hot! Exceptional new product makes pizza as portable as an ice cream cone
A new take on an old Italian favourite that has been a hit in around the world is now being prepared fresh in Toronto by The Mad Italian restaurants. ZAZZU Hot Cones, modeled on pizza in a cone products from these great cities is being introduced to customers.
ZAZZU Hot Cones have been more than a year in development. While Mad Italian restaurants are recognized for their sensational gelato and sweet cones --- for their hot cones, special dough and sauce recipes had to be approved, and new specialized baking equipment to bake the cones upright was acquired from Italy.
"ZAZZU Hot Cones have evolved and improved upon the single serving pizza -- no more toppings sliding down the pie, plus it's a handy snack for growing kids and young adults," explains Mr. Turkienicz. "With all the nutritional components provided by its traditional Italian ingredients, they are a good choice for families and those craving a filling snack any time of the day."
