Piada Italian Street Food is making their Carolinas debut by celebrating the opening of its 45th location at 336B S Sharon Amity Road. The fast casual Italian restaurant will open its doors on Tuesday, July 26 at 10:45 a.m. and will be open Sunday through Saturday, 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. This marks Piada’s first Southeastern location, with additional locations planned for Charleston, Raleigh and beyond.
Grand opening day events include a ribbon cutting celebration at 10:30 a.m. and free Piada for a year to the first 25 guests. Opening day visitors can enjoy free samples and giveaways throughout the day. To signify their commitment to the local community, 100% of grand opening day sales will benefit HeartMath Tutoring, an intervention program that recruits and trains volunteers to be elementary math tutors, delivering a proven curriculum in one-on-one sessions during the school day.
Festivities will continue throughout opening day with:
- Piada swag giveaways all day long
- Happy Hour from 1-3PM – drinks are free with the purchase of an entrée
- Kids Eat Free from 5-7PM – with purchase of an adult entree
“We are super excited to finally make it to Charlotte and know that Cotswold is a great central base that we can grow from, starting first with serving our neighbors in the surrounding area” says Lance Juhas, Chief Operations Officer and Steward of Guest Experience. “The feeling of community is at our core and we look forward to being a delicious option for the people of Charlotte and all of North Carolina in the coming years.”
Piada combines fresh, modern Italian cuisine in delicious, made-to-order meals. The menu, originally inspired by Italian food carts, offers guests an array of customizable options that are always prepared with the highest-quality ingredients. Guests can create more than 30 different dishes with the three available customizable entrees – the Piada, a Pasta Bowl or a Chopped Salad. The Piada is a wrap made from a thin crust Italian dough baked on a stone-grill, filled with authentic Italian ingredients.
Catering to the needs of all its Guests, Piada has a variety of grill items, vegetables, cheeses, sauces, dressings and toppings available to create individual, unique entrées, including vegetarian options. Recently, Piada launched their Hot Chicken Carbonara made with spaghetti or penne pasta, parmesan alfredo, bruschetta tomatoes, pancetta, spinach, grated parmesan cheese and crispy hot chicken.
In addition to giving back on opening day, Piada is committed to continually giving back to the communities they serve through the Piada Gives program. For guests who opt-in from the Piada app, 1% of every purchase will go directly to a charity or non-profit foundation that directly supports one of their core causes: education, eliminating food insecurity, social equality and cancer research.
Piada is a quick and value-focused dining option, operating under strict culinary standards, ensuring a safe and nutritious experience every visit. For more information, visit MyPiada.com or follow Piada on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
