My founder started me in 1984 when he sold pizzas out of a back room in his father's tavern. A year later, he opened his first restaurant. Today, based in Kentucky, I'm America's No. 3 pizza provider, trailing Pizza Hut and Domino's. I sport more than 3,000 restaurants worldwide, including more than 100 in the United Kingdom and China. I've been rated No. 1 in customer satisfaction among all national pizza chains and have received high marks for quality. My dough is never frozen. I went public in 1993, and my stock is up nearly fourfold since then. Who am I?

Last Week's Trivia Answer: Founded in 1889, today I'm the world leader in the making, marketing and distribution of spices, seasonings and flavors to the entire food industry. My brand names include Zatarain's and Old Bay. My industrial division serves most of the top 100 food processors, restaurant chains, distributors and warehouse clubs, offering spices, blended seasonings, condiments, coatings and compound flavors. My name may not be on many packages, but it's probably in your spice cabinet, and my products are in a wide range of foods. I rake in more than $3 billion yearly, and my annual report is scented. Who am I? (Answer: McCormick)
