Pizza Guys, based in Sacramento, California, is expanding its Los Angeles footprint with the opening of a store in Chatsworth.

The store, owned by Ali Jamshidi, is located at 9849 Mason Ave. and will open this month, according to a press release.

It is the first of several locations Jamshidi intends on opening in the area over the next several years. Jamshidi once worked at a Pizza Guys store in Sacramento and decided it fit his goals in his move into a franchisee, according to the release.

"I have worked in the food industry for years, but Pizza Guys has always been my favorite brand to work with," Jamshidi said in the release. "I loved everything on the menu. The atmosphere was always great and every Pizza Guys customer was always friendly and supportive. After working in the restaurant, I realized that I wanted to become more involved with the business and open my very own Pizza Guys franchise."

"We are very excited to see Jamshidi take the next step to become a Pizza Guys franchisee. This showcases our employees' strong belief in our brand, something that is truly important to us," Pizza Guys CEO and founder Shahpour Nejad said in the release. "We are extremely excited to support him on the opening of his first location and can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on the Chatsworth community."

The brand was founded in 1986 and has been franchising since 1994, with 75-plus stores operating across three states.
