Donatos Pizza will enter Maryland with three initial locations in the DMV area (D.C., Maryland and Virginia). The restaurants are expected to open in Columbia, Laurel and Glen Burnie in Maryland, with the first to launch next year, according to a press release.

Donatos hopes to grow to 50 traditional and non-traditional locations with the Maryland and Virginia area. With Donatos Pizza's strategic partnership with Red Robin, the brand has already introduced its presence to 20 Red Robin locations within the area.

"We are thrilled to embark on this incredible new chapter of growth and bring Donatos Pizza to even more communities throughout Maryland," Kevin King, president of Donatos Pizza, said in the press release. "Our partnership with Red Robin has proven to be massively successful, allowing us to introduce our unique Edge to Edge® pizzas to more customers who appreciate our commitment to quality and flavor. Having witnessed the enthusiastic reception of Donatos Pizza in local Red Robin locations across Maryland, we're confident that the state is primed for our brand to become a cherished staple within the community."

"With the support of our loyal fans and dedicated franchise partners, Donatos Pizza has the potential to expand in Maryland with over 50 locations offering our premium pizza," Jeff Baldwin, VP of franchise development, said in the press release. "We are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue our development efforts in Maryland and remain committed to delivering exceptional pizza and service nationwide."

Donatos Pizza has 471 locations across 28 states. The brand and its partners operate 177 traditional restaurants and 294 non-traditional locations nationwide.
