PIZZA INN ANNOUNCES EXECUTIVE CHANGES AND
4TH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS


THE COLONY, TEXAS-AUGUST 22, 2002

FINANCIAL RESULTS

PIZZA INN, INC. (NASDAQ:PZZI) today reported a net loss for its fourth quarter
ended June 30 of $498,000, or 5 a share, compared to net income of $701,000, or
7 a share a year ago, on revenues of $18.1 million versus $16.6 million in the
previous year. Total chain sales for the quarter were $47.8 million versus
$46.1 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in net income was
primarily attributable to a pretax charge of approximately $1.9 million to
reserve for a note receivable owed to the Company from C. Jeffrey Rogers, the
Company's Chief Executive Officer. Based on a review of certain financial
information provided by Mr. Rogers, the Board of Directors of the Company has
determined that collection of the loan of approximately $1.9 million from the
Company to Mr. Rogers is doubtful. Pizza Inn recorded the charge in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2002 to fully reserve for the possible nonpayment by Mr.
Rogers.

For fiscal year 2002, earnings per share were 11 versus 23 last year. Net
income was $1,137,000 compared to $2,480,000 on revenues of $66.6 million versus
$65.3 million last year. Revenues consist of the gross sales of Norco, the
Company's food and equipment division, franchise fees, and royalties.
Comparable chainwide same store sales finished flat for the year. Total chain
sales were $181.3 million for the fiscal year versus $184.2 million last fiscal
year.

Excluding the above-described bad debt charge, earnings per share for its fourth
quarter ended June 30 were 8 , versus 7 for the same quarter last year. Net
income, excluding the bad debt charge, was $788,000 versus $701,000 on revenues
of $18.1 million versus $16.6 million in the previous year. The fourth
quarter ended June 30 includes a $700,000 non-cash reserve reversal, which was
originally set up as the Company emerged from bankruptcy, now deemed
unnecessary. This was offset by other items, including the full provision of
all remaining rent expense at the Company's former corporate headquarters of
approximately $304,000 due to the continued weak leasing market and additional
legal reserves of $165,000. The fourth quarter ended June 30 included 14 weeks
versus 13 weeks for the same quarter last year.

Excluding the above bad debt charge earnings per share, for fiscal year 2002,
were 24 versus 23 last year. Net income, excluding the bad debt charge, was
$2,424,000 compared to $2,480,000 on revenues of $66.6 million versus $65.3
million last year. Fiscal 2002 included 53 weeks versus 52 weeks in fiscal
2001.
