Jet's America, Inc., operating under the trade name Jet's Pizza, is a U.S.-based fast-food pizza franchise that originated in Sterling Heights, Michigan, in 1978. The brand currently manages over 400 locations, predominantly franchises, spread across 25 states in the United States.
History
The inception of Jet's Pizza traces back to brothers Eugene and John Jetts, who transformed an empty party store into their inaugural dining establishment. Growth followed, leading to the creation of Jet's America Inc. in 1992 alongside their cousins Jim Galloway, Jr. and Jeff Galloway.
Renowned for its signature eight-corner square deep-dish Detroit-style pizza, Jet's recipe remains true to the original formula developed by the Jetts' mother in 1978. The chain launched its first franchise in 1990. By January 2024, Jet's had expanded to 425 franchise units across 22 states, including but not limited to Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Michigan.
In 2021, Jet's collaborated with the restaurant technology company HungerRush to introduce OrderAI software, which facilitates ordering via text messages. Subsequently, in August 2022, Jet's began testing OrderAI Talk—an AI-driven phone assistant designed to handle orders while enhancing upselling opportunities and targeted marketing efforts—offered to franchisees as an alternative to traditional live operators.
