## Story

The Pizza Press has officially opened its new location in North Carolina.

According to a press release published in QSR Magazine, the brand's Chapel Hill location is celebrating its grand opening with four days of ceremony and giveaways. The events will take place on-location at 133 W. Franklin St., Ste. 120.

"Our editors who create the pizzas are attentive to customers by walking them through our Pizza Press process and assisting with craft beer pairings. We’ve created an elevated fast-casual dining experience with high-quality food and exceptional customer service all at a reasonable price,” said franchisee Stuart Pannill.

The brand sets itself apart with a unique newspaper theme. This can be seen in both the food and decor. The Pizza Press uses a mechanized dough press for an industrial twist on the dining experience.
