Pie Five Pizza Co. Opens First Fast Casual Pizza Restaurant in Catawba County
New Hickory location is the second Pie Five restaurant to open in North Carolina
DALLAS, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Fall may be here, but it's about to get a lot hotter in Hickory! Today, Pie Five Pizza Co., the Dallas-based pizza trailblazer known for its handcrafted pizzas made to order in five minutes or less, officially opens the doors to its new location at 2117 US Highway 70 Southeast in Hickory. Located across from Academy Sports and the Valley Hills Mall, residents can stop in anytime from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. to create their fresh, artisan pizza made from a selection of more than 30 fresh toppings, 6 savory sauces and 4 made-from-scratch crusts. This is the second Pie Five Pizza Co. location in North Carolina.
No strangers to the restaurant business, franchisees Jeff and Christine Steiner have plans to open up to 30 locations in North Carolina. The Steiners also own and operate a number of Five Guys Burgers and Fries and Moe's Southwest Grill restaurants in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
"Pie Five is the perfect destination for Hickory's vibrant community of families, young professionals, and all pizza lovers who are looking for a dining option that is fast, fresh and made exactly how they want it," said Jeff Steiner, Pie Five Franchisee. "With unlimited pizza combinations and options for guests with different dietary preferences, such as gluten-free and vegan, there's guaranteed to be something for every member of the family."
To celebrate the grand opening, Pie Five will donated 100 percent of profits from sales during pre-opening weekend events to the Greater Hickory Cooperative Christian Ministry, which provides crisis relief, education, health care and food to Catawba County residents in need.
Along with a ton of tasty pizza combinations and signature pizzas, Pie Five also offers a delicious array of sides, salads and indulgent desserts. Guests craving a nice crunch will love any of Pie Five's signature salads which come served in a pizza crust bowl. Pie Five also introduced Breadstix earlier this year, which are available in three gooey varieties and come with a choice of sauce. Be sure to satisfy that sweet tooth with a Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, Turtle Brownie or Ultimate Brownie!
