In March of 1992 Alan and Rena Peacock and Ryan and Vickie Moss purchased an existing pizza shop in Springville with the idea of immediately expanding the menu to include hot and cold subs. At the time, no one in our area was toasting subs, which we wanted to offer our customers. Vickie created the famous bread recipe that has led to our success for over 22 years.
Our goal was to offer a high-quality pizza and sub and to provide great customer service. We opened for business under the previous name, Pizza Pan, and went to work while we decided what new name to give our business. We had a great customer who was from Germany named Karsten. He would come in and ask for a sub, but it sounded like zubs in his German accent.
We brainstormed for weeks for the perfect name and kept coming back to this spin on zubs. We joked about it but then it stuck. Zubs was born. Many people thought that it was a combination of pizza and zubs, and that works too, but the perfect name for us was all thanks to Karsten.
