Zalat Pizza will open its first Houston location in midtown on Dec. 6. This is Zalat's first location outside of the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Metroplex. The store will be located at 510 Gray St., according to a press release.

In keeping with Zalat's typical business model, the location will stay open until 4 a.m. on weekends to welcome Houston's late-night diners and will be available via most third-party delivery platforms. Zalat is expanding its footprint with this location being the first of several planned Houston locations. It is the company's 17th store.

"I know from growing up in Houston that Houstonians appreciate great food and that's exactly what we're bringing to the city," Khanh Nguyen, Zalat founder/CEO, said in the release. "We are a no-frills brand that focuses on creating delicious, unique, high-quality pizzas for our customers."

The company is known for pushing the envelope on traditional pizza as well as bold and innovative offerings.

"We are known for elevating the common pepperoni pizza with our Pepperoni Masterclass — pure pepperoni perfection with 100% beef pepperoni, oregano, black pepper and chopped garlic," Nguyen said in the release. "Beyond the standards, however, we offer bold and inventive designs such as the Nashville Hot Chicken & Pickles, Pho Shizzle, Elote, Loaded Notato, Pineapple Express, and more. An equally famous and crave-able must have is our trademarked sauce, SriRANCHa — a combination of Sriracha and ranch dressing to create the perfect mind-blowing pizza dipping sauce."

Zalad was founded in 2015.
