Nozzleman Pizza is a firefighter founded, quick serve pizzeria. Our flagship location opened during the summer of 2023 in Sparks, Nevada. Nozzleman Pizza serves various delicious, deep dish style pizzas, along with other simple menu item favorites. We are pick-up and delivery only.
The Nozzleman Pizza concept was created by founders, Robert Powells and Jesse Corletto. Robert is the co-founder and former president of the Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shops, the largest soda pop and candy shop franchising company in America. Jesse is a recently retired firefighter from the Truckee Meadows Fire Department. Jesse was also well-known at the firehouse for his terrific cooking skills that go back a couple of generations. Jesse’s grandmother Celia was an avid cook and young Jesse learned his cooking and baking skills while enjoying his grandmother’s favorite Italian dishes.
Robert and Jesse have been friends for years and one day they decided to create the Nozzleman Pizza concept. The mission is to build high quality, quick serve pizzeria franchises across America where each franchisee will help support firefighters in their local communities. Each Nozzleman Pizza location will replicate a fire station bay, with firefighter props and insigne throughout the pizzerias. Firefighters risk their lives every day to save people from tragic situations. The Nozzleman Pizza company was created to show appreciation for, and to give back to, the American heroes—our brave and courageous firefighters!
The fire station engine bay is the focal point of every firehouse. The fire engines lay idle, waiting for the unpredictable call to the next emergency. It is where rookie firefighters begin their careers and where senior firefighters pack up their gear when their careers come to an end. The years in between are filled with stories and reflections, of the calls, of the tragedies and silliness, and of the physical and emotional extremes that firefighters face on a daily basis. The fire station bay is the heart of where the families of firefighters–the spouses, the kids, the sisters and brothers, the aunts and uncles, the cousins and grandparents spend time visiting their beloved firefighter. It is where the kids form memories of the firefighting way of life, and where they too may dream of becoming a firefighter one day… The engine bay, the heart and soul, of every fire station. “The NozzleMan”
