Orlando Sentinel - Orlando-based NYPD Pizzeria is making plans to go nationwide.

NYPD has entered into a joint venture with Beautiful Brands International, a franchising company that wants to take the restaurant chain across the United States and even overseas.

The pizza franchise will offer two store models: a 900-square-foot delivery, take-out unit and a larger version starting at 1,800 square feet for full or quick service, take-out and delivery. Both options offer catering and full menus, with the possibility of a full bar or game room depending on demographics.

NYPD has seven stores, mostly in Central Florida. It also has one in Arkansas.
