Americans are getting even more options to satisfy their pizza cravings, with several chains expanding their presence across the country.
One of these is Ohio-based Donatos Pizza, which is known for its "Edge to Edge" pizzas loaded with toppings.
The chain recently announced that it's opening its first traditional restaurants in Maryland. These three upcoming openings are part of the chain's growth in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) area.
The restaurants will be located in Columbia, Laurel and Glen Burnie, Md., with the first slated to open next year.
Donatos currently operates 471 locations across 28 states. Of these locations, 177 are traditional restaurants, while 294 are non-traditional locations, meaning they are located inside other venues, such as Red Robin restaurants.
The two restaurant chains first partnered in 2018 to offer Donatos pizza at select Red Robin locations. Donatos is currently available at 20 Red Robin locations in the Maryland and Virginia area.
News of this upcoming expansion comes just a few months after Donatos announced it will enter Texas with 20 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Donatos isn't the only pizza chain opening restaurants in a new state. In April, California-based Mountain Mike's Pizza announced plans to open three restaurants in Wisconsin.
