The Pizza Press will open an expanded prototype restaurant this May in Brea, California, dubbed The Pizza Press Special Edition. A news release said the new venture will feature an elevated beer bar with vintage beers from the brand's collection, an expanded wine list, seasonal ingredients and an improved patio and bar with a fire pit.
Trained beer masters will give patrons the chance to sample some of the collected beers, which have not been on the market for years, the release said.
"The goal for The Pizza Press Special Edition is not to stray away from what has made us an Orange County staple, but to elevate the experience for our guests," the founder and CEO Dara Maleki, said in the release. "While The Pizza Press has always offered craft beer, this elevated concept will offer additional exclusive vintage beers and ingredients, further creating a special place for beer and pizza enthusiasts to come together and hang out over craft beers and specialty pizzas."
In addition to the redesigned bar, the restaurant will offer an expertly curated wine list paired with seasonal ingredients. The release said another special edition location is planned this year for Hawaii and the concept is available for franchise locations that meet certain demographics and space requirements.
