A new drive-thru pizza concept is coming to the north Fort Worth area in the fall.
What’s happening?
Za Zoom Pizza will offer pizza slices and whole pies from a stand-alone drive-thru window, co-owners Sean Brown and Tyler DiGiovanni said.
The duo, who grew up in Southlake, said the inspiration for the concept came from window pizza slice shops all throughout New York City. Like a New York slice shop, slices will be ready for customers and heated up for a few minutes before being served.
“It's really a combination of a traditional drive-thru model and a New York slice shop,” Brown said. “We looked far and wide for anything that resembles this, and there's nothing really out there.”
Za Zoom Pizza will have six staple pizza flavors, then rotating pizzas of the month, such as barbecue chicken or Buffalo chicken.
The permanent pizza options include:
The store will also offer regular fountain drinks and dirty sodas.
Zooming in
Brown and DiGiovanni said north Fort Worth was the perfect location for the drive-thru pizza stand, which is new construction. Outside of DiGiovanni now living in the area, they said the Alliance area represents their ideal customer base, which is family and community oriented.
“I think the growth of Alliance speaks for itself,” Brown said. “You've got a bunch of new developments and all different age points there as well.”
The roughly 650-square-foot restaurant is located near Keller Central High School and Fossil Ridge High School, which will also drive hungry high school students to their location after school.
Because of this, the co-owners are targeting a mid-September to mid-October opening date.
“High school football's going on, [and] everybody's kind of refreshed after the summer,” Brown said. “We think that's just the perfect sweet spot for us.”
