Fazoli's new drive-thru and dine-in restaurant is finally opening. Here's when and where
Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this article incorrectly identified the first location of Fazoli's in Arizona.
Fazoli's is opening a new metro Phoenix location outside of the airport on Tuesday, Dec. 12.
The chain made a comeback in Arizona earlier in 2023 in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport’s Terminal 4. The same Instagram post that mentioned the restaurant's return to Phoenix promised a total of nine locations. Many fans expressed their disappointment that access was limited to ticketed passengers.
The chain announced the Mesa grand opening via a Facebook post on Dec. 6, saying: "The wait is almost over, Mesa! Fazoli's is heading your way very soon." Some fans are making plans to drive from all over the Valley to visit the new location on opening day.
