Nozzleman Pizza Opens First Walmart Location in Carson City, Nevada, Expanding to Six States in 2025

Nozzleman Pizza, a rising name in quick-service restaurants with deep ties to first responders, has opened its first Walmart location inside the Carson City, Nevada, store at 3770 US-395. This marks the beginning of a rapid expansion plan for entrepreneurs Jesse Corletto and business partner Robert Powells. The locally founded brand plans to open inside 17 Walmart locations across six states this year, with vast growth expected ahead.

Walmart, ranked No. 1 on the Fortune Global 500 list for 11 consecutive years, is aligning its efforts to engage with innovative brands that offer value and quality to its customers. Following the Carson City debut, additional northern Nevada Nozzleman Pizza locations will open inside Gardnerville, Fallon and Reno Walmart stores by late summer. Further expansion is expected in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah, with plans to eventually open in all 50 states.

“Walmart is an iconic American brand with an unparalleled customer base,” said Powells. “We couldn’t dream of a better collaboration than with a company that shares our commitment to the communities we serve. The opening of our store in Carson City represents the first step in an ambitious growth strategy that blends quality food with our mission of supporting the first responders who serve our communities.”

Co-founder Jesse Corletto, a retired firefighter with 25 years of service, co-created Nozzleman Pizza to honor his fellow first responders. With backing from celebrity investors, including Nicole “Snooki" Polizzi from Jersey Shore (Polizzi grew up in a firefighting family), Nozzleman Pizza is more than just a pizza brand––it's a movement.

Each location donates a portion of its proceeds to local fire stations, reinforcing the company's dedication to giving back to those who protect and serve. Additionally, Nozzleman Pizza has partnered with Jeremy Renner's RennerVation Foundation to support foster kids and at-risk youth. Corletto is a member of the RennerVation Foundation board of directors.

As Nozzleman Pizza scales nationally, the company is actively seeking franchisees who share the company’s vision. “With Walmart locations, our franchisees have the potential to tap into high-foot-traffic stores with a very loyal customer base helping to ensure financial stability,” said Powells. “We would love for people to come join our family and become franchisees of a wonderful brand.”
