Since the debut of Pie Five in June of 2011, the fast-casual pizza concept has doubled its presence in just two years and also celebrated its first out-of-state franchised location as part of the brand's national expansion.

 

"I want to thank our loyal guests for helping us reach the important milestone of double digit locations," says Flynn Dekker, chief marketing officer for Pie Five. "The demand for Pie Five continues to rise and I applaud the most experienced restaurant development team in the industry for doing what they do in record time. We look forward to showing pizza fans in north Arlington a whole new way to enjoy their favorite food."

 

The newest location is almost 2,000 square feet with seating for 70 guests. The layout of the restaurant follows the award-winning concept's design to create hand-crafted pizzas in front of customers, made with fresh ingredients, and then baked and ready to enjoy in less than five minutes. Pie Five in north Arlington is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Pie Five has been named a 2013 Top 50 Restaurant Brand of the Year, a Hot Concepts winner by Nation's Restaurant News, and one of "10 Hot New Restaurant Chains from Established Brands" by Forbes.com.

 

The franchisor has awarded agreements for another 37 restaurants to-date in Utah, Charlotte, North Carolina, Florida, and Kansas City and continues to develop more corporate-owned locations as well.
