PIZZA INN, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR

FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2010

Key elements of a sustainable growth strategy are in place and working

The Colony, Texas – November 5, 2009 -- PIZZA INN, INC. (NASDAQ:PZZI) today reported net income of $0.4 million, or $0.05 per share, for the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2009, versus net income of $0.3 million, or $0.03 per share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

Highlights for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 included:

       

Sales from Company-owned restaurants increased 186%, or $0.4 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the opening of new buffet locations in Denton, Texas in October, 2008 and Ft. Worth, Texas in September, 2009.  

       

Comparable domestic buffet restaurant sales decreased 3.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  

       

Chain-wide comparable domestic restaurant sales decreased 4.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  

       

Franchise revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was flat to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year at $1.1 million despite the decline in same store sales due to four new franchise store openings in the current fiscal quarter compared to one new opening in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  

       

For the second consecutive fiscal quarter, there were no buffet restaurant closures in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, compared to three such closures in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.  



Charlie Morrison, President and CEO, commented, "Over the past two years, we have communicated that the keys to long-term sustainable growth and rejuvenation of the Pizza Inn brand centered around slowing the rate of buffet closures, successfully opening new company-operated restaurants, and building a pipeline of new franchise openings for the future. First quarter results demonstrate that these initiatives are working. No buffet restaurants  have been closed for two consecutive quarters, another new company-operated store has been successfully opened, and new franchise locations have been opened, with more slated to open during the remainder of the fiscal year.Although tough economic conditions have impacted same store sales, our top-line performance is ahead of the pizza category average and the health of our business is very good.”
