The Winter 2023 issue of Food & Dining Magazine is now available in all the familiar places: Louisville area eateries and food shops, newsstands and online.

Here is the listing from our print “Dining Guide.” Have I mentioned that the Winter 2023 edition is out?

Mr. Gatti’s: This Texas-based chain was one of the first national pizzerias to reach Louisville in the 1970s, and quality ingredients – plus Gattiland playgrounds for the kids – have made its crisp, thin-crust pizzas a popular draw.

A new Mr. Gatti’s pizzeria (also referred to as a “fun center”) at 8013 Preston Highway in Okolona joins existing Clarksville and Dixie Highway locations within our metro coverage area, and it should be open now according to the corporate website. It might not hurt to call first and verify before you go: (502) 964-0933.

Mr. Gatti’s opening new restaurant on Preston Highway

The new Mr. Gatti’s is owned by franchisee Aftab Siddiqui, who owns and operates existing locations in the surrounding area. Siddiqui prioritizes quality and service in order to align the establishment’s operations with the interests and expectations of the surrounding community, according to a news release.

“The new family entertainment center in Louisville is more than just a restaurant; it’s a continuation of a story deeply rooted in the community,” Siddiqui said in the release. “It represents another chapter in our delicious history here, a space where flavors bring people together for good times. This expansion is a nostalgic addition to Mr Gatti’s longstanding presence in Louisville.”
