Epicenter is an exceptional residential and retail destination in the heart of Agritopia, the highly regarded vertical mixed-use development that has redefined the community of Gilbert. Spinato\u2019s will officially open at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 2. The new restaurant is located at 3150 E. Ray Rd., Suite 128 in Gilbert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSteve Churchi, president of the Arizona Restaurant Association, introduced us to Joe Johnston, founder of Johnston &amp; Co., and as soon as we learned the vision for Epicenter, we knew it would be a perfect fit,\u201d Spinato said, adding that Gilbert\u2019s strong family demographic aligns with Spinato\u2019s family-friendly culture.<\/p>\n<p>A locally owned business, Spinato\u2019s has been serving Valley residents for 49 years. Best known for its classic Chicago-style pizza with a signature sweet sauce, the popular restaurant also features a diverse menu, with everything from pizza and\u00a0sandwiches, robust pastas and spaghetti-stuffed calzones to gluten-free and vegan options, fresh signature salads and Spinato\u2019s famous home-made Italian desserts.<\/p>\n<p>The Gilbert restaurant features 4,650 square feet inside, and a spacious outdoor patio that seats 76, both at tables and in a lounge area. The restaurant can also accommodate large parties both inside and outside. In addition, Epicenter residents ordering take-out can pick up their food from a private area within the restaurant. Delivery options are also available, both through Spinato\u2019s staff and Door Dash.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant\u2019s chic, comfortable design features garage doors and walls that open to allow for fresh air. A large, full bar provides seating for 24 guests both inside and outside and three large TVs that are visible from the bar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith each new restaurant, we strive to fit the demographics of the patrons we will be serving. While some elements may connect to another Spinato\u2019s location, we want every restaurant to be something you may not expect from a pizzeria,\u201d Spinato said. \u201cWe\u2019re committed to providing an exceptional experience, so our ambiance must stand alongside the level of guest service, cleanliness and quality of food we provide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Spinato family will also introduce a new vegan pizza option at the Gilbert restaurant when it opens. Earlier this year, Spinato\u2019s introduced a new gluten-free cauliflower crust option for all pizzas\u00a0except any that are made with meatballs.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0new Vegan Pizza, first available at the Gilbert restaurant, is available on Spinato\u2019s regular crust at any size as a build your own option, and also on their gluten-free crust which is also vegan friendly, but it is only available as a 10\u201d and starts at $15.50 (also a build your own option).\u00a0Check back over the summer to see if the vegan pizza will be available at other Spinato\u2019s locations.<\/p>\n<p>Spinato\u2019s is also rolling out a\u00a0new Buffalo Chicken Pizza\u00a0on May 2 at all six locations that will be available\u00a0through June 30. The delicious pizza features\u00a0medium buffalo sauce base, house-grilled chicken, red onion, chive, mozzarella, gorgonzola, ranch and medium buffalo sauce drizzle.\u00a0Prices for Spinato\u2019s Buffalo Chicken Pizza are:\u00a0Personal $11.60, Small $17.60, Medium $23.50, Large $29.50, and Gluten-free $17.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been so humbled by how the Gilbert community has embraced news about our new restaurant,\u201d Spinato said. \u201cWe honestly did not expect so much passion, and it has validated our choice to expand there.\u00a0We are excited to become integrated into their community and support local causes as community is one of our four core values.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spinato\u2019s Pizzeria &amp; Family Kitchen is expanding its presence into the East Valley, with a new, modern restaurant opening in Gilbert\u2019s Epicenter at Agritopia.
