June 1 - Unique Pizza and Subs Looks to Expand Rapidly in Pittsburgh Market With Projected Sales of $13,285,300 by End of 2007

Unique Pizza and Subs Corporation (Other OTC: UPZS), a Delaware Corporation, has begun to expand its presence in its home market of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Over the next 60 days, Unique Pizza and Subs will be opening three new locations in Monaca, Wexford and Robinson Township. Unique Pizza and Subs is in various stages of negotiations with numerous prospective franchisees throughout Western Pennsylvania. Unique Pizza and Subs is projecting the opening of 6 (six) new stores and 25 (twenty-five) independent stores converted to UPZSs by the end of 2007 with total sales of $13,285,300.

James Vowler, President and CEO of Unique Pizza and Subs, stated, ''As the only publicly traded pizza franchise that is headquartered in Pittsburgh, we are extremely excited about our growth throughout Western Pennsylvania. I designed Unique Pizza and Subs from its conception to be a publicly traded, nationwide franchise. A franchise that would have the quality of a 'mom-and-pop' pizza shop but with the consistency of a major franchise. According to Pizza Today Magazine; 'Western PA has more pizza shops per capita than any other area in the U.S.,' which has made it the perfect market for us to showcase our success. Over the last 15 years, we have won many awards, we have been the official pizzas of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Riverhounds, but our biggest success is the intense loyalty of our customers in the Pittsburgh market. With the addition of thirty-one new locations throughout Western Pennsylvania, it is just another of many strong indications to our shareholders how committed we are to becoming one of the top ten pizza franchises in the U.S.''

The Pittsburgh market will allow Unique Pizza and Subs to demonstrate the tremendous benefits of building an experienced and talented management team. This executive team assembled by President and CEO, James Vowler, has produced a powerfully strategic business model that will strengthen market share, acquire new franchisees rapidly, and dominate a competitive market like Pittsburgh. Unique Pizza and Subs thrives on competition because no other national franchise can produce the quality of a ''mom-and-pop'' pizzeria while maintaining the consistency and strength of a major franchise. Unique Pizza and Subs has many advantages over the competition (superior product, a unique and extensive menu, a Customer Response Center) but the main focus of the investment community is UPZS's ability to grow rapidly in any market. Given that Unique Pizza and Subs rapid growth is not limited by demographics or household incomes, it is making the brokerage firms and individual investors take notice. All of these factors are proof of UPZS's commitment towards national expansion and dedication to building value for their shareholders. Other new markets scheduled for opening this summer are: Atlanta, GA; Austin, TX; Boston, MA; Milwaukee, WI; and Norfolk, VA.
