Grimaldi's Pizzeria announced it will open its first restaurant in Tennessee in the Saddle Creek outdoor lifestyle center of Germantown in the Memphis area. The new location will serve coal-fired brick-oven pizzas, calzones, salads and desserts, according to a company press release.

"Fans have long been asking for our expansion to Tennessee, and the response to our announcement has come with a great deal of excitement," said Joey Ciolli, president and CEO of Grimaldi's Pizzeria. "We look forward to serving outstanding food, delivering impeccable service and making a positive contribution to the Germantown community, for many years to come."

The 3,519-square-foot restaurant will feature both indoor and al fresco dining in a family-friendly atmosphere that is classically upscale yet casual, the release stated. Grimaldi's décor includes red-checkered tablecloths, brick and dark wood accents, chandeliers created from wine bottles, and a glass-encased presentation kitchen that allows guests to see the step-by-step creation of each made-to-order pizza.

Grimaldi's Pizzeria has 39 restaurants across the United States. The company has new restaurants in development in Overland Park, Kansas and Stone Oaks, Texas.
