PIZZA INN, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR
THIRD QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2010

Company maintains consistent profit performance despite challenging competitive environment
 
The Colony, Texas – May 10, 2010 -- PIZZA INN, INC. (NASDAQ:PZZI) today reported net income of $0.4 million, or $0.05 per share, for the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2010, compared to similar net income of $0.4 million, or $0.05 per share, for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  Total revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2010 declined to $10.2 million from $10.8 million in the same period of fiscal 2009.
 
For the nine months ended March 28, 2010, Company revenues were $30.6 million compared to $33.4 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  Net income for the nine months ended March 28, 2010 was $1.1 million, or $0.14 per share, compared to $0.8 million, or $0.09 per share, for the same period in the prior fiscal year, representing a 41.1% increase in net income.
 
Highlights for the third quarter of fiscal year 2010 included:
 
 
Sales from Company-owned restaurants increased 35%, or $0.2 million, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to the opening of a new buffet location in Ft. Worth, Texas in September, 2009.
Comparable domestic buffet restaurant sales decreased 9.2% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Chain-wide comparable domestic restaurant sales decreased 9.8% for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Franchise revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 remained flat to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year despite the decline in same store sales, primarily due to franchise fees related to new domestic and international openings.
Two new domestic buffet stores were opened with one closure during the third quarter compared to no new domestic buffet stores opened and four closures in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.
 
 
Charlie Morrison, President and CEO, commented, "Significant winter weather events coupled with deep discount, traffic driving strategies from our competitors made for a difficult operating environment in restaurants open more than a year.  However, we still achieved slight growth in income from continuing operations driven by the continued development of new stores in the US and internationally.  By the end of the fiscal year, we expect to have opened more restaurants than we closed for the first time in 11 years.”
