Who started Mother’s Pizza?
We all owe our memories of this iconic pizza chain to three individuals, Grey Sission, Ken Fowler and Pat Mara. After exiting Mother’s, Ken and Grey went to even further Canada restaurant legend status but forming SIRCorp, which owns and operates a number of restaurant brands such as, Jack Astor’s, Scaddabush, Reds, Cannon Creek, Dukes. Check out a message from Grey in our blog.
Do you sell direct to the public?
As we build our distributor/retail network, we know it can be a challenge to get your hands on your beloved Mother’s Pizza, and we would love to be able to sell direct. However, with it being a frozen product, it can be challenging to ship product. We suggest that you speak to your local grocery store manager about carrying Mother’s products. In addition to that, check back often for up to date announcements of where to find our products.
