Fazoli’s
We operate Fazoli’s as a premium fast-casual Italian restaurant concept that serves the general public. Our restaurants offer Italian meals in a format that combines the convenience and pricing of quick service with a more casual dining atmosphere. We typically operate in shopping center outparcel buildings, inline and end-cap spaces, freestanding restaurants, nontraditional locations such as campuses and airports, and delivery-only kitchens. Guests can dine in, and in some locations we also serve pickup and delivery-focused business.
