Us-based fast-casual Italian restaurant chain Fazoli’s has officially opened its new restaurant outlet in Orlando, Florida.

Located at 4201 E Colonial Drive, the new Fazoli’s location is owned by local operator Keys Restaurants.

Keys Restaurants CEO Rodney Keys said: “We are excited to have fulfilled our promise to return Fazoli’s to Orlando.

“We have a long history of excellence building franchises and local businesses in the Orlando area and are more committed than ever to our customers. When they walk into a Keys Restaurant Inc. location, they know they can expect nothing but the best.”

Fazoli’s Orlando will serve the brand’s hot breadsticks and signature Italian dishes, including pasta, subs, salads and pizzas.

Fazoli’s president Doug Bostick said: “We couldn’t be happier to reintroduce our mouth-watering, freshly made food back into the Orlando market.

“We’ve been humbled by the nonstop excitement from fans and have spent countless hours preparing for the large crowds we expect at our drive-through and can confidently say we are ready.”

Earlier this week, Fazoli’s reintroduced its Pizza Baked Pasta in the US for a limited period.

The Pizza Baked Pasta will be available in three different varieties: Pizza Baked Pasta, Meaty Pizza Baked Pasta and Supreme Pizza Baked Pasta.

All three versions of the dish will be available at Fazoli’s restaurants until the end of this year.
