Chicago-based Giordano's will open its first Washington D.C. location on June 9, according to a press release.

The restaurant is located in the city's Lafayette Square neighborhood and weighs in at 7,400 square feet. It has seating for 180 guests, including a patio and a 20-seat private dining area.

The location will also feature limited-edition D.C.-inspired merchandise and retail items celebrating both Chicago and Washington culture.

"Opening in Washington, D.C. is about more than opening another restaurant for us. It's a chance to bring a real piece of Chicago culture to the nation's capital while also becoming part of the local community," Nick Scarpino, Giordano's CEO, said in the press release. "We're looking forward to building relationships throughout D.C., from local organizations and event partners to vendors and collaborators, while introducing more people to the pizza traditions that have defined Giordano's for generations."

As part of the opening celebration and in honor of 250 years of America, Giordano's will debut its limited-time "250 Pizza" in Washington, D.C., beginning June 9, with proceeds benefiting HonorFlight.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring America's veterans. Inspired by Americana flavors, the specialty pizza features pepperoni and sausage topped with a commemorative "250" Parmesan cheese stencil design.

Giordano's has nearly 60 locations across nine states.
