Gatti's Pizza Franchise Opportunity

Company History

Colonel Eure opened The Pizza Place in September 1964 in Stephenville, Texas. In 1969, he moved to Austin, their current corporate headquarters, and he held a contest to rename his first restaurant. Colonel Eure entered his own contest, and he won with his entry of the name "Mr. Gatti's," a tribute to his wife's maiden name, Gatti.

A perfectionist by nature, Colonel Eure worked long hours to master the elements that define the perfect pizza: real cheese (no imitations allowed), yeast-risen dough made fresh every day, their signature tangy pizza sauce and toppings that can't be topped.

Then in the late 1980s — seeing a natural connection between pizza that both kids and parents would enjoy and the need for wholesome family entertainment — Mr. Gatti's began integrating game rooms with top-quality, "All You Care-To-Eat" buffets. This new combination of big-screen TVs, video games and delicious pizza brought in the whole family to "Eat Up The Fun."

In 1997, they opened their first GattiTown in Oak Hill. This 25,000-square-foot superstore even devotes 10,000 square feet to a colossal Midway-type game room. GattiTown is the "central family district" for growing families who want their pizzas topped with a lot of laughter.

Colonel Eure's vision is now 140+ stores strong and counting, including GattiTown and delivery/carryout restaurants.

Today their pizzas are the life of the party, and their restaurants are active contributors to their communities. Pizza is, after all, friendly food — meant to be shared.
