Gatti's has been satisfying pizza cravings for over 47 years. Our founder, James Eure, opened The Pizza Place in September 19 ... 64 in Stephenville, Texas. In 1969, he moved to Austin, and opened "Mr. Gatti's" as a tribute to his wife's maiden name. James Eure worked long hours to master the elements that make people crave pizza: real cheese (no imitations allowed), yeast-risen dough made fresh every day, our signature tangy pizza sauce and toppings that can't be topped. It wasn't long before Gatti's were popping up all over the Southwest. It turns out that people crave fun as much as they crave delicious pizza, so we decided to give them both. During the 80's and 90's some buffet stores featured state-of-the-art game rooms, beginning an evolution that eventually led to GattiTown, a 25,000-square-foot Family Entertainment Center with up to 10,000 square feet of modern game rooms and party facilities. James Eure's vision is now a multi-unit franchise system with restaurants across 17 states, which includes GattiTown, Gatti's Pizza and Mr. Gatti's Pizza concepts. Much has changed in 47 years, but the most important things have stayed the same. We're still following our founders recipes and our commitment to fresh ingredients. read more
