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.

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