CLEARWATER, Fla., July 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Picky pizza lovers in Clearwater are in luck!

Pie Five Pizza Co. ? the fast-casual restaurant known for its customizable pizzas prepared and ready to enjoy in five minutes or less ? is making its local debut on Monday, July 31, at 2689 Gulf to Bay Blvd. in Clearwater Mall.

"The Clearwater community has been clamoring for a Pie Five to call its own ever since we opened in Estero, and I'm so happy that we're finally ready to serve shoppers at Clearwater Mall!" said Pie Five Franchisee Jeffrey Parker. "Pie Five's clean, comfortable and friendly environment combined with speedy service and quality ingredients is perfect for this area. We can't wait to open our doors and we look forward to becoming an integral part of the Clearwater community in the weeks and months ahead."

Parker formerly operated six McDonald's franchises. He opened his first Pie Five restaurant in Estero last month and he is scheduled to open a third location in Coral Springs later this fall.
