What is Pizza Shop Insurance?

Pizzerias occupy a unique place within food service. Many function as an eat-in restaurant, take-out place and delivery service all at the same time, and some also provide off-site catering. Each of these activities presents a particular set of risks and insurance needs. Pizza shop insurance helps pizzerias in Vermont protect themselves from many of the various risks they face.

Pizza shop insurance policies are specialized commercial policies that have been uniquely designed to meet the coverage needs of pizzerias and similar food service businesses. Most policies are drafted as package policies that come with several standard and available coverages, and pizzerias can usually customize a particular policy’s coverages to suit their specific situation.

What Businesses in Vermont is Pizzeria Insurance Right For?

Most pizzerias in Vermont should procure pizzeria insurance. Not having insurance can be financially devastating if a business suffers a major lawsuit or disaster, and this is usually the most appropriate type of insurance for these businesses.

What Coverages Are Included in Pizzeria Insurance Policies?

As mentioned, pizzeria insurance policies typically contain multiple coverages and those coverages often can be adjusted. For these reasons, the exact coverages that these policies come with often vary.

Nonetheless, there are a number of coverages that policies frequently make available. Some of the more commonly chosen ones are:

Commercial Building Coverage, which often protects company-owned buildings
Tenants Betterments Coverage, which often protects improvements made to leased spaces
Contents Coverage, which often protects items in buildings or leased spaces
Equipment Breakdown Coverage, which often protects important equipment in the event of a malfunction
Food Contamination Coverage, which often protects food in the event it spoils following a covered incident
General Liability Coverage, which may cover lawsuits related to common accidents
Product Liability Coverage, which may cover injuries and illnesses caused by sold products (including foods)
Umbrella Liability Coverage, which may offer additional liability protection

In addition to these protections, many pizzerias also need coverage for making deliveries. For most places, this means some form of commercial auto coverage is necessary. What form is needed usually depends on who owns the vehicles that are driven during deliveries.

If a pizzeria owns the vehicles that are used to make deliveries (including off-site catering deliveries), a full-fledged commercial auto insurance policy is normally in order. If employees use their own vehicles for deliveries, a hired and non-owned auto policy might be sufficient. This latter option generally provides liability coverage for vehicles that a business uses but others (e.g. employees) own.

Mike Bancroft is simply an amazing agent. When my business got burglarized, I was so upset and didn't know what to do. I contacted Mike and he was very prompt in calling me back and he put my mind at ease. He made me feel so much better and handled all of the paperwork immediately. His customer service is top notch and I highly recommend him to be your insurance agent!

Our business was with the same trusted agent for over 20 years. Mike Bancroft offered to evaluate our policies and see if he could save us some money on both Workmen's Comp and general liability. He did, and in the process even moved us to better coverage. Mike also offers a superb quality of service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Mike Bancroft has been great to work with. He has assisted with my Business Auto, Tool Coverage, Homeowners and all other types of insurance needs. I wouldn't be surprised if they change their name to Paige, Campbell & Bancroft soon!

Extremely prompt, personable, and professional service! Despite only needing a workers' comp policy for one employee, Paige & Campbell was very receptive and ensured to shop my policy around to ensure I received a great price that was almost half of what another broker quoted me.
