Shield's - Standing the test of time

Thank you for your interest in Shield's franchise opportunities. We are licensed to offer full-service and carry out franchises in the state of Michigan. Shield's has withstood the test of time to become one of Metro Detroit's landmark names and tastes. Shield's Restaurant Bar and Pizzeria has been serving award-winning pizzas and salads for decades and is a popular eating spot for families, athletes and politicians.

Good food, reasonable prices

In early 1997, Shield's Restaurants was purchased by Paul and Peter Andoni who expanded and updated the menu to cater to a wider variety of customers. In addition to pizzas and salads, Shield's now features great ribs, healthy sandwiches, pastas and more. The reason for Shield's success has remained constant throughout the years - our commitment to offering high quality foods at reasonable prices in a light-hearted, family atmosphere.

A tradition of success

Shield's is looking for motivated individuals interested in continuing this tradition as owners and operators of franchised locations. What's it like to be a Shield's franchisee?
