DALLAS, Jan. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Pie Five Pizza Co., the fast casual pizza innovator known for its artisan pizzas baked in 140 seconds, is opening its first location in Lufkin, TX at 4415 South Medford Dr. on Friday, January 20! Just a five-minute drive from the Lufkin Mall and open every day from 11a.m. to 10 p.m., Lufkin residents are welcome to stop by anytime for a delicious, chef-inspired pizza made from a selection of more than 28 fresh toppings, seven savory sauces and four made-from-scratch crusts.

Pie Five Franchisee, Nathan K. Cage, is thrilled to bring Pie Five's fast and unique model to the Lufkin area.

"We immediately fell in love with the Pie Five concept for its speedy service, fresh ingredients and great value," said Cage. "I'm proud to bring the future of pizza to East Texas."  

To celebrate the grand opening, the restaurant will be donating a percentage of proceeds to the Texas Chapter of the Lupus Foundation of America, an organization devoted to researching and investigating lupus with the hopes of solving the unpredictable and devastating disease.
