A new era is beginning for Pizza Inn in Mesquite as the brand celebrates a fully modernized restaurant transformation. This significant reinvestment marks a bold step forward for the Dallas-founded brand, blending nearly seven decades of tradition with a contemporary experience. To mark the occasion, the restaurant is hosting a weekend-long celebration to welcome local families and long-time fans back to the doors of a reimagined experience from America’s Hometown Pizza Buffet.
Celebrating Local Growth and Community at Pizza Inn Mesquite
The festivities are set to kick off with a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, March 5. However, the excitement doesn’t stop there. The party continues throughout the weekend with community-focused activities designed for guests of all ages. Visitors can expect an array of prize giveaways, a spin-to-win wheel, family-oriented activities, and special promotions as the restaurant reintroduces the Mesquite area to a refreshed and elevated dining environment.
“The DFW area is more than just a home base for us; it’s where Pizza Inn first started,” said Brandon Solano, CEO of Pizza Inn. “Our responsibility is not only to honor our legacy, but to continue evolving it. Seeing a family-owned restaurant like Mesquite transform and reinvest in its community demonstrates how Pizza Inn is building momentum for the future while staying deeply rooted in the neighborhoods that made us who we are.”
A Fresh and Contemporary Dining Experience
The Mesquite location, which originally opened its doors in 1966, has been a neighborhood fixture for decades. Now, it is welcoming guests into a thoughtfully redesigned space. Notable improvements include expanded seating options and a much brighter, more contemporary dining atmosphere tailored for today’s families. One of the standout functional updates is the enhanced back-fed buffet, which was engineered to improve both guest flow and food freshness.
Despite the modern aesthetic, the kitchen remains dedicated to the high-quality, scratch-style preparation that has defined the brand since 1958. Guests can still enjoy pizzas topped with the signature house-shredded 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese, which is prepared in-restaurant daily for superior melt and flavor. This commitment to quality, combined with daily house-made dough and a variety of fresh toppings, ensures that the menu continues to deliver handcrafted flavor and outstanding value.
Honoring Heritage Through Family-Owned Pizza Inn Reinvestment
The Mesquite location is owned and operated by the Hemani family, who have invested in this extensive remodel as part of a broader effort to drive systemwide modernization. This project reflects a renewed focus on purposeful reinvestment and operational enhancements that empower family-owned franchisees to grow with confidence. By modernizing such a long-standing location, the brand demonstrates how it can elevate the guest experience while staying true to the heritage that fans have loved for decades…
