Schoolteacher Ken Selby opened Mazzio’s in 1961 and frequently operated the restaurant by himself after work and on weekends. In 1965, Selby didn’t have time for both jobs, so he stopped teaching and operated the restaurant full-time.
By 1975, Selby had two restaurant locations and he began franchising the following year. Selby conceived a new business approach in the late 1970s. His idea called for more square footage of casual dining space, an expanded menu, thicker pizza served with much more meats and cheeses, sub sandwiches along with a salad bar.
That concept has proven to be highly successful. The company now has 165 locations in 10 states.
During the coronavirus crisis of 2020, many Mazzio’s were forced to close and conduct only delivery service or take out orders but many locations are now looking forward to reopening.

Ive been a Mazzios customer for years. Big fan of Works pizza Recently your pizzas have started skimping on toppings so thin that the crust has bare spots. Im having to switch to papa johns. If you ever go back to normal topping amounts Please let me know.
Hello, I am a customer and i got banned from your store in Seminole Oklahoma i was not even there at the time or order anything. we have got raw pizza there.
I really don’t like complaining because I feel like something bad will happen to my food next time I order but there was so much hair in the sausage pizza that I had no choice
Like 5 long hairs were found cooked into the cheese ????
We ordered pizza for delivery and after 2:30 hours went and picked it up. When we opened it it was burnt and really not edible. I wish I could send a picture. Terrible experience and will no longer order from mazzio.
I recently tried to order pizza for my husband and I, he has brain cancer and has always loved your pizza, however though when I tried to get our food delivered I was told I was out of the delivery area I live 3 or 4 miles from the store so was confused as to why they would say that when I asked the operator what that was about she said it was because of an hour and half wait time which still made no sense considering it takes that long on many nights, especially on football nights. I would of picked up my order but as I said my husband has brain cancer and can’t be left alone needless to say and it may seem petty but we will not be ordering from your establishment again. I don’t normally say or do these things but this was absolutely ridiculous.
It was for a free lunch buffet if you purchased a drink
I misplaced my birthday coupon could you send me another one please
I went to the Wichita Falls store placed my order to go it took 1.5 hours to get it then it was cold. I have never had problems before but I won’t be going there again. I wasn’t the only one that had to wait the other people were asking for their money back.
First, let me start by saying I loved reading the History about the founder of Mazzios, Ken Selby. We have something in common, in the fact that prior to making Pizza Ken Selby was also a School Teacher and he taught in Tulsa, Ok. That being said, I was previously a Kens Pizza customer and currently am a loyal Mazzios customer for at least 38 years (thanks to my mother also being a loyal customer). As a tradition in my home I look forward to Monday evenings when I don’t have to cook, instead we enjoy either carry-out or delivery, which used to be your Monday night one topping pizza special. We still order on Monday evenings however, we changed things up and started getting the Supreme Kens Pizza using coupon code# 490, along with a small order of loaded dippers. For the past month there has been an issue with every order. About four weeks ago our pizza was late so I called and was informed that it was delivered to the wrong location. They informed me they were already in the process of making us a new order and it would arrive shortly. If this is the case then they knew it was going to be late so why didn’t they call us and let us know? Then they didn’t even offer to give us our meal or anything for our trouble. I said something and was offered a 10 dollar credit. Then every week since, we haven’t received our sauce that comes with the order of dippers. I let them know and they make notes and yet it still comes with no side of sauce. They charge me extra for Jalapeños on my Supreme Pizza and yet they don’t give me my sauces and want to double charge me for sauce the next week. Then when I call to say something I always get my call transferred to the same lady who does the customer complaints, which isn’t very friendly and doesn’t seem to care that we are weekly customers (sometimes twice a week customers) and my business doesn’t matter, takes notes and says it has been taken care of.
So tonight we order the same thing we ordered Monday night but this time I was told they were out of the small loaded dippers but that I could get a large loaded dippers. I said how can you have a large if you don’t have the small? I then asked If J was going to get the large order for the small order price and was told No. To me that would be something I would offer the loyal customer if I didn’t have what they wanted. However, I paid the full price. Then guess what? Once again my husband went to pickup our food and once again no sauce. Also. the thin crust pizza was the thinnest I had ever seen in my life. It was literally notebook paper thin. I’m starting to think this is being done on purpose. I’m writing this in hopes that my business does matter and that my voice will be heard. Me and my husband discussed ordering from a Mazzios location that is in another town so maybe we won’t have these problems but is that really solving the issue? Your help in this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely
Tina C.
P.S. I hope Mazzios CEO, Lori Carver sees this post.
