Donatos Pizza is making its Texas debut through the opening of a brand-new location at 8990 Coit Rd. in Frisco. The grand opening, set for November 12, will mark a major milestone for the brand as it expands into Texas for the first time, bringing its famous Edge to Edge® pizza to a new audience.

This highly anticipated opening will introduce Texans to the Donatos difference: pizzas generously covered with fresh, high-quality toppings all the way to the edge, creating a pizza experience that’s second to none.

“Opening a Donatos Pizza location in Texas is a dream come true for us. As lifelong fans of Donatos, we’re thrilled to bring this beloved Ohio-based brand to the Frisco community,” said Casey Dennis, co-owner of Donatos Pizza Frisco. “We can’t wait for everyone to experience great pizza and join us for some fun at the grand opening on November 12th.”
