Fast-casual pizza chain &pizza will continue its New Jersey expansion with three proposed locations, according to a NJ.com report.

The Washington D.C.-based company will open in Cherry Hill, East Rutherford and Paramus, New Jersey. Cherry Hill and Paramus are expected to open this month, and the East Rutherford spot is slated for a February opening. Exact opening dates have yet to be announced. There are currently two New Jersey locations.

"The expansion into N.J. was something we always hoped to achieve; simply put, we love N.J.," founder and CEO Michael Lastoria said in a statement to the news outlet. "It's the home of many close, personal friends as well as &pizza investors, not to mention so many incredible people. It's an honor for us to be a microcosm of the N.J. pizza community."
