Fat Boy's Pizza has launched an express version of its store design. The service-oriented concept from the Louisiana-based company will open in Harvey, Louisiana, before the end of the year, according to a press release.

The express model will still feature the brand's oversized slices and 30-inch pizzas, but is designed for convenience.

"We are really excited about this concept," Casey Biehl, vice president of operations, said in the press release. "We believe it will be the catalyst behind significant and rapid growth strategies for our brand. The Fat Boy's Express model will be our first full-fledged foray into the omni-channel world."

A 55-inch digital menu board will allow guests to preview the menu before ordering and then see a confirmation screen after ordering to ensure accuracy. Customers will also be able to order inside at self-serve kiosks, through third-party delivery apps or online. The menu will include chicken wings, waffle fries, daiquiris and halal meat pizza, a new addition. Fat Boy's Pizza Express will also feature a full bar, bar seating, outdoor seating, arcade games and video poker.

"We believe our pizza by the slice and chicken wings through the drive-thru will satisfy our guests' needs," Biehl said. "The technology inside and outside will allow us to focus on delivering our signature guest experience, along with great food and drinks."

Fat Boy's Pizza operates six locations — five in Louisiana and one in Mississippi. The brand will open its first location in Texas later this year.
