Patxi’s Pizza (pronounced pah’-cheese), a collection of polished casual dining destinations in California, Denver and Seattle, serves distinctive deep-dish pizza, thin crust pizza, and a wide range of appetizers and salads made with the finest, carefully sourced and best-tasting ingredients. Patxi’s was founded during the summer of 2004 in Palo Alto, Calif., when pizza lover and entrepreneur Bill Freeman partnered with Francisco “Patxi” Azpiroz, a longtime friend and expert pizza maker. Their vision was to serve the best authentic, deep-dish pizza in a stylish, sophisticated and welcoming environment. Little did they know they were helping pioneer the concept of polished casual dining, which combines the best from both white tablecloth and casual dining, with their approach to service, pricing, product and atmosphere. Today, Patxi’s has 17 locations and is headquartered in Sausalito, Calif. The company’s continuous commitment to charitable giving firmly positions Patxi’s as one of the top most philanthropic companies in the San Francisco Bay Area.
