You're stepping into an 18-year-old, fully-operational Italian pizzeria with strong unit economics and a proven Absentee Owner Business Model. This pizzeria generates $713K in gross revenue annually with a weighted-average SDE of ~$91K, supported by consistent cash flow over three years and improving gross margins (from 46.9% in 2023 to 53.6% in 2025). The asking price of $280K represents a 3.1x SDE multiple—a strong valuation that reflects the business's operational stability, margin expansion, and multi-channel revenue streams.
The business is structured as a complete asset sale: the buyer acquires FF&E (kitchen equipment, serving counters, POS system), inventory, customer list, trade name, and all operational goodwill. A seasoned manager/operator currently runs the location with 6-8 staff members (full-time and part-time), ensuring a smooth transition. Day-to-day operations are systematized—vendors, supplier relationships, and standard operating procedures transfer with the business. The owner's involvement is minimal; the business has run absentee-style for years, making it ideal for an investor seeking hands-off, recurring cash flow.
Revenue streams are diversified across four channels: dine-in service, takeout counter sales, third-party delivery platforms (UberEats, DoorDash, Grubhub), and catering services. This diversification reduces reliance on any single revenue source and positions the business to weather seasonal or temporary disruptions. The 1,200 SF location is well-suited to the pizzeria format—efficient layout, functional kitchen, and welcoming service area.La Guardiola Pizzeria & Bistro is a well-established Italian restaurant and pizzeria that has served the Bayonne, NJ community for over 17 years. The business operates from a ~1,200 SF location at 819 Broadway, offering dine-in, carry-out, and delivery services featuring a full menu of Italian specialties, fresh-baked pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, salads, and catering services. The restaurant seats 50 in the Dinning Room and another 50 in the exterior, rear, private patio especially designed for special weddings, parties and events. The Premises features fully equipped and modern kitchen, pizza oven and services and pickup counter, on the main floor and a full basement setup for excess dry and cold inventory storage and an entire pizza prep station to handle high capacity catering and delivery demand.
This is a turnkey opportunity for an experienced restaurateur, first-time buyer, or investor seeking a semi-absentee / absentee-run restaurant with day-to-day management already in place. The dedicated Manager/Operator and full staff are expected to transfer with the sale, reducing transition risk and supporting operational continuity.
