Texas Expansion for Donatos Pizza Accelerates with Addition of Three Franchise Groups
Donatos Pizza has signed agreements with three new franchise groups to expand its presence in Texas. The new deals will increase the total number of Donatos Pizza franchise groups in Texas to nine, with ongoing development in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston areas. The company plans to open over 100 locations across key markets in Texas eventually.

Donatos Pizza is expanding its presence in Texas with the addition of three new franchise groups. The new agreements underscore the pizza company's long-term growth ambition in Texas. In this state, it plans to eventually operate over 100 outlets across significant markets such as Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Houston, Waco, Austin, and East Texas.
This expansion builds upon the company's strong performance in 2024 and aligns with its strategic focus on people, innovation, brand relevance, and growth. High-potential territories are still available across key Texas markets, presenting an opportunity for qualified franchise partners to join the brand before these markets are fully claimed.
The company's presence in Texas currently includes two locations in Flower Mound and Frisco. With the pipeline of new stores expanding rapidly, the brand anticipates several new Texas locations will commence operations starting in 2025.
Donatos Pizza recently introduced its new tagline, "Gotta love more™," reflecting its commitment to offering greater value, innovation, and community connection.
