The concept was inspired by the street food culture Piada’s founder, Chris Doody, encountered during a trip to Rimini, Italy, where he was introduced to family recipes and simple, flavorful meals. The first Piada restaurant opened in 2010 with a focus on offering a fast-casual dining experience rooted in quality and tradition.
Signature items include Veggie Piada, which features hummus, feta, and arugula, and the Avocado Piada, which combines crispy pancetta, mozzarella, and avocado. The pasta offerings include dishes like Carbonara Pasta, Basil Pesto Pasta, and Diavolo Pasta, alongside the more indulgent Penne Parm Piada and Carbonara Piada served with a choice of grilled, crispy, or hot fried chicken. For sides, customers can enjoy Garlic Dough, Sweet Corn Salad, and Calamari Fritto Misto, while Cannoli Chips and Salted Caramel Cookies provide a sweet ending to the meal.
