Charge Up Your Stoke Meter
Stoke – /stōk/ verb
- To feel all is right in your universe
Our Stoke Meter was on low before we founded Zeeks. We couldn’t find jobs that allowed us to rip powder turns and ride Columbia swells, so we started our own company. Zeeks can fuel your stoke too, whatever it is.

The Opportunity Ahead
The world is craving authentic brands…and amazing beer and pizza. We left the trailhead three decades ago, but we’re just now arriving at basecamp. Are you ready to summit the peak of the $46.8 billion pizza industry with us?
How we do it
We work directly with the best local brewers and typically buy full batches. That’s why Zeeks Beers are unique, highly sought after and often exclusive. It’s also why we have a reputation as being the best craft beer joint in pizza.
There are now 33 states and counting that allow beer and wine delivery. The business is exploding. We have been at the forefront from the beginning and our tech driven service is as good as it gets.
It’s more difficult to make incredible pizza than lame pizza, that’s why the world is awash in the bad stuff. Zeeks elevates the pizza experience. We see enormous opportunity to be a leader as the world migrates to “better pizza” and away from the inedible stuff of the current big brands.
Everything about Zeeks has grown organically. It started with two buds who quit their jobs, pursued their stoke and set off on their own adventure. We’re telling the world what we’re about and people relate to our authenticity and like to roll with us.

FUEL YOUR STOKE
You don’t need to powder ski or be from the Northwest for Zeeks to fuel your stoke. Whatever your passion is and whatever your vision for your life is, a Zeeks franchise may be able to help you realize your dream. Here are some stories where it has already happened.
Steve Sandberg
Owner, Zeeks Bellevue and Kirkland
Our first franchisee found himself looking at a future of putting on a suit and heading to the office every day, but he knew that wasn’t for him. On the way back from a ski trip with T & D he asked about franchising. That was franchise #1.
Monica
Owner, Zeeks Kenmore and Woodinville
Monica always wanted to own her own business, but she was busy running a large-assisted living facility. She would grab drinks after work at our Queen Anne location and one day she hit us up. The rest is history.
Lauren & Chad
Owners, Zeeks Bothell
One of our proudest moments at Zeeks was when one of our own flipped us the bird. Chad worked at Zeeks for 9 years and Lauren was smart enough to see that they should jump off the mothership. They did, we love it, and they are kicking ass.
Jillian & Shane
Owners, Zeeks Lynnwood & Terrace Station
Shane was the building inspector on our Bellevue location in 2005 and he liked what he saw. In 2018 he and Jillian became such regulars of our Lynnwood location that they bought it from us and signed a deal to open another.
