Pie Five Pizza will open its first store in Delaware at 11 a.m. Friday at 1211 N. DuPont Highway in Farley Plaza near Best Buy. Local Pie Five franchisee Mashoor Awad, who currently owns six IHOP Restaurants and was previously a successful Subway franchisee, sees Pie five as a natural fit for the area, a company press release stated.

"There aren't many fast casual options in the Dover community — we are certain guests will love our fresh ingredients and fast process," Awad said. "Pie Five caters to today's consumer who craves quality but wants it fast — I think it will be a big hit."

Awad will be developing the Pie Five Pizza brand across the northeast area including Delaware, Eastern Pennsylvania/Philadelphia, the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Southern New Jersey.

Pie Five will be donating 50 percent of pre-opening proceeds to Code Purple. The nonprofit's mission is to provide temporary sanctuaries for the homeless when the temperature or wind chill drops below 32 degrees. Code Purple will receive a check at the opening ceremony at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, with the mayor of Dover and the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce also in attendance, the release stated.
