PIZZA INN, INC. REPORTS RESULTS FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2010

Company Delivers 16% Pre-tax income growth despite tough economic conditions
 
The Colony, Texas – September 16, 2010 -- PIZZA INN, INC. (NASDAQ:PZZI) today reported net income of $1.2 million, or $0.15 per share, for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2010, versus net income of $1.2 million, or $0.14 per share, for the prior fiscal year.
 
Highlights for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010 included:
 
·  
Pre-tax income from continuing operations was $2.2 million for fiscal 2010 compared to $1.9 million for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 16% compared to the prior fiscal year.
·  
The Company opened more restaurants than it closed for the first time in eleven years.  The opening of 25 restaurants during the fiscal year is the most in 5 years, while the closing of 22 restaurants during the year is the least in 13 years.
·  
Comparable domestic buffet restaurant sales decreased 7% for both fiscal 2010 and for the fourth quarter compared to the prior fiscal year.
·  
Total comparable domestic restaurant sales decreased 8% for both fiscal 2010 and for the fourth quarter compared to the prior fiscal year.
 
Charlie Morrison, President and CEO, commented, "We battled through a difficult operating environment in the past year and managed to grow pre-tax income by 16%, which demonstrates the improvements we have made.  A net increase in store openings in the year demonstrates the commitment we have made to restoring growth to the brand.  Fiscal year 2011 is set up to continue this momentum with more scheduled openings of both company-owned and franchised new restaurants.”
