The Italian quick-service chain continues Arizona expansion with a new Surprise restaurant featuring signature menu favorites and partnership-driven growth.

  • Fazoli’s opens its fourth restaurant in Phoenix.
  • Menu includes Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Baked Spaghetti.
  • Future expansion into Gilbert planned for spring 2026.

Fazoli’s has opened its fourth restaurant in the greater Phoenix area, extending the brand’s steady return to Arizona with a new location designed for speed, comfort, and familiarity. The restaurant introduces local diners to a menu anchored by longtime favorites, including Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Baked Spaghetti with Meatballs, and the unlimited breadsticks that have become synonymous with the brand.

The opening reflects growing confidence in the Phoenix market, where Fazoli’s has rebuilt its presence over the past three years. Gregg Nettleton, president of Fazoli’s, said the brand has reestablished itself as a dependable quick service Italian option, noting that guests continue to respond to a balance of quality, value, and convenience.

The new restaurant is operated by franchise partner Kind Hospitality, whose role has been central to Fazoli’s regional growth. Nettleton credited the group for creating a welcoming dining experience while maintaining the operational standards that support long term expansion. The partnership has positioned Fazoli’s to scale thoughtfully across the area.

Looking ahead, the company plans to open another Arizona location in Gilbert in the spring of 2026, signaling continued momentum in the state. The expansion underscores Fazoli’s broader strategy of working closely with franchise partners to enter and deepen its presence in high growth markets.

Founded in 1988, Fazoli’s has built its reputation on delivering fast, fresh Italian meals at accessible prices. As the brand continues to expand its footprint, the latest Phoenix area opening reflects both consumer demand for convenient comfort food and Fazoli’s ambition to grow without losing its familiar appeal.
