The founders of Lit Pizza have announced that they plan to open a new location of the fast-casual pizza concept in Central’s The Settlement of Shoe Creek sometime next year.
The new location will the fourth for Lit, which first opened last year in the Southgate Shopping Center on Burbank Drive.
Lit Pizza also has a new location in the LeBlanc’s Lagniappe Shopping Center in Gonzales and plans to open another at the Cabela’s Center, also in Gonzales.
“Choosing this location in Central was made easy when you studied the current market and growth potential, combined with an impressive lifestyle development from an experienced developer like Southern Lifestyle Development,” Ozzie Fernandez, Lit Pizza cofounder, says in a prepared statement. “We are excited to bring this family oriented and wood-fired pizza concept to Central and becoming part of this great community.”
Lit offers a “craft your own” experience in which guests can create an 11-inch pizza from scratch. The pizza pies are cooked in a wood-fired oven.
Fernandez and business partner, Gary Kovacs, also own Izzo’s Illegal Burrito. They are planning several more LIT Pizza and Izzo’s Illegal Burrito locations in south Louisiana. The recently announced development in the Cabela’s Center in Gonzales will feature both LIT and Izzo’s side by side.
Ransom Pipes with Maestri-Murrell Commercial Real Estate brokered the deal between SLD and Lit Pizza.
