Atlanta-based fast-casual pizza brand Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint is expanding by two new locations this week Pittsburgh area in Cranberry, PA and the Atlanta area in Smyrna.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 16, 2015 - Atlanta-based fast-casual pizza brand Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint is expanding by two new locations this week, on pace to open a new unit every 10 days and meet its goal of having 300 restaurants in five years.

The first of five Uncle Maddio’s units in Pennsylvania opened Saturday at 1686 Route 228 Suite 150, Cranberry Township, PA in the northern Pittsburgh area, and a new unit opening this week in Smyrna, Georgia is the 14th unit for the Atlanta metro area. The new Smyrna restaurant is located at 4340 East-West Connector South Cobb Drive in the Old Ivy Village, where the store opens this Friday, July 17, with a grand opening celebration Saturday, July 18, serving free 9-inch, build-your-own, three-topping pizzas to guests in line from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Smyrna, Ga., restaurant is owned and operated by Mike and Cajgie McGaha Dickey. Mike has more than 25 years in the restaurant industry, 15 of which were spent managing restaurants for Darden. Cajgie McGaha Dickey also has a long restaurant career, working for 20 years as a general manager and in human resources for Applebee’s.

Uncle Maddio’s is unique among most pizza restaurants, with guests interacting with the pizza maker to customize their very own pizza with premium ingredients and crust preferences, with the assurance their customized pie will be delivered oven hot to their table in less than 8 minutes. Uncle Maddio's offers only premium ingredients and more customization than any other fast-casual pizza restaurants.

The approach to customizing quality-based pizzas and prompt at-table delivery has allowed Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint to dominate the Atlanta-area fast-casual pizza scene and rapidly expand across the U.S. With the addition of the Pittsburg area location and the new Smyrna, GA unit, the rapidly expanding fast-casual franchiser now has 37 restaurants across 13 states. The company plans to have at least 300 locations in five years, with a focus on maintaining the successful model, food quality and fast-casual dining experience for which it has become known among diners in areas where it operates.

Uncle Maddio’s continues its strong growth in the Atlanta market, with 14 units planned for the metro-area in the next 5 years. The company opened a new restaurant in Newnan in June and will open another in Loganville, Ga., later this summer.

The recently launched Pittsburgh area restaurant is owned and operated by Gino and Mali Torriero, along with partners Jake McNary and Jason Betters. Gino Torriero already owns Nello Construction and plans to put his skills to use as he builds out more units in North, South, East and West Pittsburgh. The additional Pittsburgh restaurants will open over the next few years.
