Pizza Factory has opened its first Texas location in the Fate community. The new Express model is located at 131 E. Fate Main Place, according to a press release.

The restaurant is locally owned by Mike and Terri Sanchez. The couple has a longstanding relationship with Pizza Factory starting with their hometown of Filmore, California, to owning multiple locations throughout Nevada to now opening a milestone restaurant for the brand in a new state.

"Our family has been big fans of Pizza Factory for many years and after moving to Fate, we knew almost instantly the brand would fit perfectly within the community," Terri Sanchez said in the release. "We are so honored to open Pizza Factory's first Texas location. Entrepreneurship is something Mike and I value closely and given Pizza Factory's seamless approach to operations, the brand makes the leap into business ownership so easy. We're confident Pizza Factory will become a staple within our community and are excited to see the brand further expand within the state next year."

In addition to the Fate store, Pizza Factory has signed 20-plus franchise agreements in 2021. Of these agreements, three are slated for Texas.

"I am beyond excited to see our first Texas store open within the Fate community," Pizza Factory CEO Mary Jane Riva said in the release. "Our concept has always thrived in new markets and I see a similar success happening in Fate under the ownership of Mike and Terri. It's always nice to see Pizza Factory fans become owners but with the Sanchez family specifically, it's extra special because of their previous ownership in another state. This restaurant is just the beginning for Pizza Factory in Texas as we look to open two more in 2022."

Pizza Factory operates more than 100 locations.
