I invite everyone in the community to discover the joy and tradition of Gatti’s Pizza, a brand that has brought smiles to many faces for decades.”

Mr Gatti’s Pizza serves a mix of pizzas, appetizers and desserts.

Customers can make their own pizza or choose from options such as buffalo chicken, spinach alfredo, veggie sampler and meat market. Appetizers range from bread and cheese sticks, to wings and pasta.

Sweet tooths can chow down on cinnamon sticks, brownies, chocolate chip cookies, a Dutch apple treat and a s’mores dessert pizza.

The pizza chain first opened as “The Pizza Place” in Stephenville in 1964.

Founder James Eure moved to Austin in 1969 and opened the first “Mr Gatti’s Pizza” in honor of his wife’s maiden name. Now, the chain has over 70 locations across several southeastern states.
