Pie Five Pizza  has signed a deal with DP5 Investments that will add up to 28 South Florida locations.

"South Florida is attracting a lot of growth and the fast casual pizza market hasn’t really hit there yet — we’re excited to be the first to bring Pie Five’s concept to the area,” said Jeffrey Parker, DP5 franchise development partner. "We have a lot of confidence in the brand and their very seasoned leadership team plus their oven technology is superior to anything else in the market."

DP5 Investments plans to first develop sites in Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Wellington and West Palm Beach, according to a company press release. Pie Five’s newest development deal follows multi-unit deals recently announced in New Mexico, Missouri, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Colorado, Kentucky, and Indiana, in addition to company-owned expansion in Chicago, Atlanta, Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, the release stated.

"We’re thrilled to welcome Jeff and his partners to the Pie Five family," Rave Restaurant Group, Inc. Randy Grier CEO said. "They bring a wealth of multi-unit restaurant experience to our growing team of veteran operators, and with their aggressive plans for expansion, will soon own the fast casual pizza market in South Florida."

Dallas-based Pie Five Pizza Co. is a subsidiary of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc. RAVE owns, franchises and supplies more than 300 Pie Five and Pizza Inn restaurants operating domestically and internationally.
