Fazoli’s, one of the nation’s largest Italian fast food chains, is reopening its location in Plant City next week.

Launched in 2017 and temporarily closed due to renovations, the newer Fazoli’s will open its doors on Tuesday, Feb. 22 and serve freshly prepared pasta entrees, Submarinos sandwiches, salads, pizza and desserts—along with its unlimited signature breadsticks

Plant City’s Fazoli’s is located at 238 W Alexander St. and will be open Sunday-Thursday from 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m. and Friday-Saturday from 10:30 a.m.-11 p.m..

The opening will be preceded by a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday, Feb. 21 at 4 p.m. to celebrate the restaurant’s incorporation to the Plant City Chamber of Commerce.

Adding to its nearly 220 restaurants in 27 states, the chain recently opened a new location near Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

“Fans throughout Plant City have been clamoring for Fazoli’s return, so we’re thrilled to bring it back and fulfill their dreams for Fast. Fresh. Italian,” said Brady Keys, III, VP of Operations for Keys Restaurants, Inc. “Everyone that visits our restaurant will experience top-notch service while enjoying their favorite Italian flavors and hot, fresh breadsticks. We look forward to officially opening our doors on Tuesday and showing the community that Fazoli’s is back and better than ever.”
