Donatos Pizza is expanding into Texas with initially plans to open up to 20 restaurants in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The expansion has been made possible through the agreements with four franchise groups.

“Our expansion is not just about introducing a new premium pizza; it is about creating a lasting connection with the community and giving back. With four dedicated franchise groups leading the way, and room for growth, we look forward to sharing Donatos Pizza with the Lone Star State,” Donatos Pizza VP of franchise development Jeff Baldwin said.

The company added that several territories across the state are still available for franchising.

Currently, Donatos Pizza operates in over 460 locations across 29 states. These include 179 traditional Donatos restaurants.
