Kind Hospitality – the restaurant group that specializes in elevated dining experiences with a portfolio of 52 locations across well-recognized favorites such as Panera Bread, O.H.S.O., Native Grill & Wings, Fazoli’s and more – announced its first West Valley Fazoli’s location (the third in metro Phoenix) is now open.
From unlimited signature breadsticks to freshly prepared pasta entrees, Fazoli’s prides itself on offering high-quality dishes at an affordable price. The menu showcases classic entrees like chicken fettuccine alfredo, chicken broccoli penne, baked lasagna and baked ziti. In addition, the eatery serves pizzas, subs, salads and specialty Italian ice.
Fazoli’s is known for its buttery breadsticks – and the brand-new Glendale location sold over 66,468 of them in its first three weeks, averaging more than four per minute since opening its doors.
At the grand opening, team members and the community celebrated with a traditional ribbon cutting and a day of giving to local charity Hope Community Services. Kind Hospitality matched every dollar donated to the charity. The donation will be used for Hope Community Services’ farm property in the West Valley, where the organization provides children and young adults with equine and other animal-assisted therapies.
Nava Singam, owner and CEO of Kind Hospitality, said that the partnership with Hope Community Services will be ongoing and include monthly catered meals from the Glendale location for the organization’s staff and youth groups.
Fazoli’s launched its first Arizona restaurant in the late 1990s. Mesa Riverview was the brand’s first street-side location under Kind Hospitality. They also opened at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 2023, launching it into the airport dining scene.
“In a little over a year, we’re proud to have opened three brand-new Fazoli’s in Maricopa County with Kind Hospitality,” Fazoli’s President Gregg Nettleton said. “As a veteran franchise partner of sister brand Native Grill & Wings, Kind truly understands the local restaurant space and community needs.”
“We are excited to bring Fazoli’s brand to different areas of the Valley, and each community’s response has been nothing short of overwhelming,” Singam said. We are grateful for diners’ enthusiastic support and look forward to continuing Fazoli’s expansion.”
Fazoli’s Glendale is located at 5825 W. Peoria Ave. It is open Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. The Sky Harbor, Mesa Riverview, and now Glendale locations are just the start of Fazoli’s intended growth in Arizona.
