A pizza chain headquartered in Fort Worth has launched a new family entertainment center in the city.

Mr Gatti’s Pizza opened its doors on Monday at 5203 McCart Ave., suite 205 and will host a week-long celebration of special raffle prizes and merchandise. The location is right off Interstate 20 in south Fort Worth and part of a small strip mall.

The family entertainment center features a pizza buffet, salad bar and a party/meeting room that can accommodate 60 guests. Another big highlight is a 7,500-square-foot game room with over 40 arcade games.

Mr Gatti’s Pizza spent over $3 million on the center, which will bring 50 new jobs to Fort Worth, according to the company.

“This new family entertainment center represents more than just an expansion of Mr Gatti’s—it’s a commitment to enriching the Fort Worth community,” franchise owner Kirk Jefferies said. “I am deeply invested in creating spaces where families can gather and create lasting memories. 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.

Beyond the new entertainment center in Fort Worth, Mr Gatti’s Pizza has another Cowtown location at 2812 Horne St. The chain is also headquartered in Fort Worth.

Mr Gatti’s Pizza is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday-Saturday at 5203 McCart Ave., suite 205.
