Piada Italian Street Food is a fast casual Italian cuisine restaurant chain with 49 locations in 7 states (Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas).[1] There are 25 locations in Ohio, 2 in Indiana, 1 in Kentucky, 3 in Minnesota, 3 in North Carolina, 5 in Pennsylvania and 10 in Texas.
The restaurant features custom-rolled wraps (Piadas) in a stone-grilled, thin-crusted dough made from organic flour and extra virgin olive oil, as well as chopped salads and pasta bowls.[2] The chain features food prepared along an assembly line, and has been called an Italian copycat of Chipotle Mexican Grill.[3]
Chris Doody, owner of the company, is a co-founder of the Bravo Brio Restaurant Group chain.[2] He sold his stake to investors in 2006 and launched the Piada concept around the Italian "wrap-like sandwich" known as a Piada or Piadina, a street food he sampled in northern Italy. It is stuffed with pastas, meats, cheeses, sauce and vegetables.[4] Piada also serves pasta bowls, chopped salads, power bowls and soups. They also offer cannoli chips as a dessert item. There is a kids menu featuring smaller versions of the main menu items.
