WASHINGTON — Hometown pizza chain &pizza — known for its oval-shaped pizzas and all natural, locally-sourced ingredients — continues its aggressive expansion.
The newest &pizza locations are at the Potomac Yard Shopping Center, opening July 12, and at the Prince George’s Mall, opening July 19.
&pizza opened its first location on H Street, N.E. in 2012. It now has 26 locations in the Washington area and has expanded to New York and Philadelphia. It opens its first location in Boston soon.
Last fall, the company closed on its largest round of new funding from RSE Ventures, an investment firm co-founded by Stephen Ross, principal owner of the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, and is using the new backing to continue its expansion.
In November, Salis Holdings, run by &pizza co-founder Steve Salis, acquired Ted’s Bulletin, the popular restaurant with five locations in the Washington area.
Salis bought D.C. landmark Kramer Books & Afterwords Cafe in 2016.
