Kansas City’s SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza is moving into new markets across the country. In the last six months, the fast casual pizza joint has opened seven locations in four states and has three more locations under construction, according to a company press release.

The growth spurt began in March, when SPIN! Pizza opened a location downtown in Crown Center, a destination popular with both locals and tourists in its Kansas City, Mo. home market. The Greater Kansas City location was followed two months later with a restaurant in the southern suburbs of Overland Park, Kansas, where SPIN! launched its first location in 2005.

The chain’s first of four company-owned Dallas locations opened its doors in April in the suburb of Irving, Texas, and this summer brought two more locations to Las Colinas and Southlake. A fourth Dallas-Fort Worth area location will open in October near the Southern Methodist University campus.

SPIN!’s first location on a college campus opened in August in the University of Central Missouri’s new mixed-use facility featuring a combination of student housing and retail. Located on the edge of campus in Warrensburg, Mo., the restaurant is situated to serve both students and the local community with a patio that overlooks the football stadium, according to the release.

August also brought the opening of the first SPIN! Pizza in the San Francisco Bay Area. That location, in Alameda, California, is operated by a franchisee.

Another franchisee has its first location under construction in Lawrence, Kansas, home of the University of Kansas, Lawrence, which  is less than an hour from Kansas City.

Kansas City’s Northland area is the locale of another construction site where SPIN! is expected to open a company-owned restaurant this winter.

In addition to its food, SPIN! offers a rotating roster of wines and makes homemade white, red and blood orange sangrias and offers a selection of barrel wines and craft beers.
