&pizza to Debut First West Coast Location at Rio Las Vegas in Spring 2026

&pizza, the rapidly growing fast-casual pizza chain, is set to open its inaugural West Coast location at Rio Hotel & Casino Las Vegas in Spring 2026.

 

This expansion marks a significant milestone as the brand ventures beyond its East Coast origins.

 

Since launching its franchising strategy in March, &pizza has accelerated its growth, securing multiple franchise agreements nationwide.

 

Upcoming openings include twelve new restaurants in Orlando, Atlanta, Charleston, and Raleigh, with additional discussions underway in other major cities.

 

The forthcoming Rio Las Vegas location will be owned and operated by the resort itself.

 

“It’s been full throttle for &pizza this year, and we’re not letting off the gas anytime soon,” said Mike Burns, CEO of Latitude Food Group.

 

“Our expansion goal is bold, and entering dynamic markets like Las Vegas is key to making it happen.

 

Partnering with a legendary resort like Rio Hotel & Casino, which is investing heavily in its dining experience, is a major milestone that positions &pizza among other forward-thinking brands that recognize the opportunities ahead in this city.”

 

&pizza is known for its unconventional approach to pizza, offering a vibrant atmosphere where music is turned up, and employees are encouraged to express themselves.

 

The menu features creative pies such as The Farmer’s Daughter, Moonstruck, Elote Loco, and Pineapple Jak’d, along with limited-time offerings like the eyebrow-raising Dickle.

 

These unique combinations showcase the brand's commitment to bold flavors and societal betterment, earning it a dedicated following.

 

“We’re excited to welcome &pizza to Rio Las Vegas as part of our ongoing transformation,” said Patrick Miller, President and CEO of Rio Hotel & Casino.

 

“The brand’s creative approach to fast-casual dining aligns well with our focus on expanding bold, guest-driven food and beverage offerings.”

 

In recent years, Rio Las Vegas has been revitalizing its dining options to enhance the guest experience.

 

The addition of &pizza complements other new establishments, including High Steaks Vegas by acclaimed Chef James Trees, and the popular breakfast spot Eggslut.

 

These efforts reflect the resort's commitment to offering diverse and innovative culinary experiences.

 

As Las Vegas continues to evolve as a culinary destination, the arrival of &pizza adds to the city's dynamic food scene.

 

With its bold flavors and unique dining experience, &pizza is poised to become a favorite among both locals and visitors seeking something different on the Strip.
