Noble Roman’s Pizza franchise was listed as the worst.  According to Katie Adams of Investopedia:

1. Noble Roman’s Pizza

Billing itself as “The Better Pizza People,” this Indianapolis-based franchiser has had a tough time selling that proposition to customers.

While the company reported a 30% net income increase in Q1 of 2009, Q2 total revenues were down more than $500,000 from the comparable period in 2008.

Maybe that’s why 53% of all owners with SBA loans defaulted in 2008.
