A new ghost kitchen company from California that provides professional kitchen space to restaurants for the preparation of delivery-only meals is opening in Dallas-Fort Worth with three locations: Called Kitchen United MIX, it's a takeout-delivery setup that allows customers to order online for pickup or delivery from 10-plus independently operated, national, and local restaurant brands, all on one receipt.

According to a release, Kitchen United MIX will open three DFW locations:

Frisco will be a free-standing facility at 9506 TX-121, with a customer-friendly pickup center, onsite ordering, and available seating options.
Plano will be a free-standing facility at 1941 Preston Rd. #1030.
Dallas will be a "store within a store" located at the Kroger supermarket by Mockingbird Station at 5665 E. Mockingbird Ln., allowing diners to shop for groceries while having fresh meals prepared for takeout on the spot.

Kroger and Kitchen United entered into a partnership in 2021 to provide Kroger customers with a convenient option for takeout. Their first location was in California, and the second opened in Houston in February 2022.

The Frisco Kitchen United opens on May 25, with the following restaurants:

Capriotti's
Fuddruckers
Wing Zone
Grimaldi’s
Monkey King Noodle Company

The restaurants for Plano and Dallas are not yet listed; those locations will open in the coming weeks.

"We’re proud to grow our presence in the Lone Star State and open our first two DFW locations," says Kitchen United Chief Business Officer Atul Sood. "Kitchen United MIX provides a takeout and delivery experience unlike any other, and we can’t wait to start serving the Frisco and Dallas communities in the upcoming weeks!"

At both locations, online ordering is available at KitchenUnited.com. Guests can MIX and match items from multiple restaurants on one simple bill, making it convenient to enjoy variety without having to compromise or argue over the bill.

Guests can also order from the restaurants housed in either Kitchen United MIX through various third-party delivery platforms, but multi-restaurant ordering is only available through the Kitchen United MIX platform.

The DFW debut will follow Kitchen United MIX locations in Austin and Houston. Kitchen United MIX currently operates 14 to-go food halls in Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Jose, Santa Monica, Austin, Houston, Scottsdale, New York, and Chicago, with more locations in the works.

Famed pizzeria Slice House by Tony Gemignani to debut in Frisco, Texas

Slice House

A famous pizza is coming to Texas, starting right here in the Dallas area: Slice House by Tony Gemignani, the fast-casual pizza brand by world-renowned pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani, will open its first Texas location in Frisco at 5995 Preston Rd.

According to a release, it'll open in January 2026.

Gemignani is the 13-time World Pizza Champion who, inspired by a pizzeria in Naples, Italy, founded Tony's Pizza Napoletana in San Francisco in 2009. He opened the first Slice House — a fast-casual concept — in 2010, then began franchising in 2023. There are now nearly 30 locations open and many more coming soon.

The concept features an extensive menu with four styles of crust:

traditional New York
homestyle Grandma
rustic Sicilian
Detroit-style

… all available by the slice or whole pizza.

“Opening our first Texas location in the heart of Frisco is a huge milestone for Slice House,” Gemignani says in a statement. “With the dedication of our brand partner, Daniel Hawkins, we look forward to becoming part of the local community and sharing our signature menu and Slice House craft as we expand into the South.”

Slice House Frisco will feature an expansive menu of Gemignani’s famous New York, Sicilian, Grandma, and Detroit style pizzas available by the slice or whole pizza with gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options available, as well as fresh pasta, wings, and salads.

The drink menu will include craft beers and premium wines, in addition to non-alcoholic sodas and juices.

The new pizza spot will have indoor seating for 30 people, outdoor seating for 8 people and will offer takeout, online ordering, and delivery. It will be open seven days a week – from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

“We’re proud to partner with world champion pizzaiolo Tony Gemignani to introduce his acclaimed pizzas and artisanal offerings in Texas,” said Daniel Hawkins. “Slice House’s expansive pizza menu, commitment to quality, and lively atmosphere, will quickly make it a local favorite in Frisco. Whether guests are grabbing lunch with friends or taking a pizza home to enjoy with family, we can’t wait to open our doors and welcome everyone soon.”

Slice House Frisco will open ina shopping center that’s home to a mix of dining, retail, and service-oriented businesses, including Kolache Factory, Koto Hibachi and Sushi, and Classique Jewelers. There's another DFW location penciled in for McKinney, at 7851 El Dorado Pkwy., which is still "coming soon."
