Donatos Pizza, the premium pizza franchise famous for its abundantly topped pizzas spread Edge to Edge, continues to build momentum across Texas as the brand expands its presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston markets. Donatos Pizza is advancing plans for additional locations in the region while preparing for its upcoming Houston openings in Atascocita and Missouri City later this year. <\/p>\n

The continued development emphasizes Donatos Pizza’s long-term growth strategy to establish a strong presence throughout the state, with a goal of opening more than 100 locations over time across key markets including DFW and Houston. The brand’s Texas growth builds on the momentum generated since entering the state, including multiple DFW openings and development agreements, as well as the recent expansion into Houston. <\/p>\n

“Texas continues to be an incredibly important market for Donatos, and we’re seeing strong interest from franchise partners who are passionate about the opportunity to bring our brand to more communities,” said Jeff Baldwin, VP of Development and Franchising at Donatos Pizza. “We’ve already made significant progress in Dallas-Fort Worth, and with Houston now moving toward its opening, there are more opportunities for the right franchise partners to grow with us.” <\/p>\n

As Donatos Pizza continues its Texas expansion, the brand will connect directly with prospective franchise partners at Franchise Expo Dallas on September 18-19 at the Irving Convention Center. Donatos Pizza will provide prospective franchisees with an opportunity to learn more about the brand’s business, growth strategies, and available development opportunities across Texas. The event brings together franchise brands and entrepreneurs exploring franchise ownership. <\/p>\n

“We are excited to connect directly with prospective franchise partners who are interested in bringing Donatos to local Texas communities,” said Kevin King, CEO and President of Donatos Pizza. “With the momentum we’re seeing in Dallas and Houston, this is an amazing time to join Donatos as we grow throughout this state.” <\/p>\n
