Mr. Gatti’s LP has announced the reopening of its Belton, Texas, Gatti’s Pizza location under a new franchise agreement with Papanana Enterprises Inc.

New owner Glenn Deringer completed a training program offered by Gatti’s Corporate Support Center before reopening the unit Jan. 18.

"We are thrilled to bring a new level of excitement to Belton," said Mike Mrlik, CEO for Mr. Gatti’s LP. "We are excited to have Glenn Derringer, as he will provide a family-friendly atmosphere with a one-of-a-kind experience filled with food that comforts your soul. People still have incredibly fond memories of the brand. Before we even opened, customers were anxiously anticipating the re-opening.”

The Belton unit is located in the Oak Village Center and is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Guests may dine-in or place a pick-up order.

By the end of Gatti’s fiscal year in April, the chain plans on having 130 restaurants open in 11 states.
