Marcus "Jet" Torres
The original dough-slinger. Marcus built Jet's pizza on a belief that authentic ingredients and bold seasoning can transform any Tuesday into a celebration.
Jet's pizza was born in 2010 when founder Marcus "Jet" Torres opened a small kitchen on Higley Road with nothing but a secondhand oven, locally sourced ingredients, and a relentless drive to craft the boldest pizza in Gilbert, AZ. Our first week, we made 40 pies. Today, that number is closer to 4,000.
The secret was never complicated: use the freshest ingredients, respect the dough, and never rush a pizza. Every jet's pizza that leaves our kitchen is made by hand, baked to order, and packed with flavors that keep our community coming back.
We grew not through shortcuts but through consistency — the same bold recipes, the same warm service, and the same commitment to every slice being worth every penny.
Every decision we make — from flour sourcing to delivery speed — is shaped by three core commitments.
To serve bold, handcrafted jet's pizza using the freshest local ingredients — delivering not just food but a genuine experience that brings people together around the table.
To become the most beloved jets pizza brand in the Southwest — celebrated for uncompromising quality, a welcoming community spirit, and pizza that earns a permanent place in every family's routine.
Every pizza that bears the Jet's name is made fresh to order — no frozen shortcuts, no reheated compromise. You deserve the real thing, every single time.
We never sacrifice quality for speed. Every ingredient is sourced fresh and every dough ball is hand-stretched to order.
We are Gilbert locals serving Gilbert locals. We sponsor school events, partner with area farms, and reinvest in our neighborhood.
Bland food is a missed opportunity. We season boldly, layer generously, and perfect relentlessly — because every bite should be memorable.
From our compostable packaging to our locally grown produce partnerships, we're committed to leaving a lighter footprint with every pie.
It sounds simple because it is. The passion each team member brings to the kitchen is the single ingredient that no recipe can fully capture.
From a single storefront on Higley Road to Gilbert's most-loved pizza destination — here's how the story unfolded.

We doubled our dining room, added a craft beer bar, and installed two additional stone deck ovens — welcoming over 200 guests per night during weekend service.
