Dallas-based Zalat Pizza will open its 17th North Texas location on March 7th.
Coming to 950 W Stacy Rd., the restaurant will be the first in Allen. It will only offer takeout through Zalat’s website or delivery through third party apps.
“We are eager to offer a more convenient location for our fans living in the Allen and McKinney area who have been driving to surrounding cities such as Plano to get their Zalat fix,” CEO and founder Khanh Nguyen said in a statement.
The Allen location is one of three new North Texas locations that Zalat has plans to open this year. The other two will open in Dallas at 1160 Peavy Rd and 6935 Hillcrest Rd., respectively. Opening dates for those two have not yet been announced.
Outside of North Texas, Zalat opened its first Houston location in Midtown in December 2021. According to a press release, a second location will open in The Woodlands/Shenandoah area on March 1.
“We are looking forward to continuing our expansion with this new location and being able to offer our crave-able pizza to another community in the Houston area,” Nguyen said.
The brand is also planning to expand nationally starting in 2024.
Launched in 2015, the first Zalat opened on Fitzhugh Ave in Dallas. Known for its creatively topped handmade pizzas, specialty pies include The Reuben which comes topped with shaved corned beef, Swiss cheese, and housemade 1000 Island sauce; Pho Shizzle which includes chicken, red bell peppers, caramelized onions, and swirls of hoisin and sriracha; and Pepperoni Masterclass – a New York pizza perfection that features 100% all-beef pepperoni, oregano, black pepper, and crushed garlic.
Before any pizza goes out the door, it is inspected and signed by a “Pizza Zealot” – what Nguyen dubbed the brand’s team members since they’re “fanatical about what they do.”
