Remember the folks online several years ago who repeatedly chanted, “Don’t California my Texas?” The message clearly hasn’t taken because another California restaurant chain is planting a flag in the Lone Star State.
The 100th location of Pizza Guys, and its first in Texas, opened over the weekend in Plano. According to the company’s announcement, the location at 9613 Coit Rd. is a franchise spot owned by a local Dallas-Fort Worth area family.
Shahpour Nejad opened the first Pizza Guys in 1986 in Sacramento, Calif. From the outside it’s hard to tell what actually separates Pizza Guys from every other fast-casual pizza place in the U.S. The announcement did however say their shops chop mozzarella and veggies in-house, which might be advantageous compared to other chains that may get product pre-prepped.
