Median Annual Sales Volume
$2,159,113
Pizzeria Uno's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the entire 52 Week Period ended September 30, 2025. Basis: Parent-owned, affiliate-owned, and domestic franchised Full Service Uno Restaurants open for the entire fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.

What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- Expense information was aggregated only from parent-owned Full Service Uno Restaurants, since expense data is not available for franchised Full Service Uno Restaurants.
- The information described in this Item 19 relates solely to Full Service Uno Restaurants.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Pizzeria Uno outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
