For a couple months we have seen job listings for an &Pizza location in Olney, but haven’t been able to get any further information.This evening we were able to confirm that the customizable pizza place will be coming to the Fair Hill shopping center in Olney. Though we don’t have an exact location at the moment, it appears as though it will take over a location that is currently home to an existing business.
&pizza was founded by Michael Lastoria and Steve Salis (Ted’s Bulletin, Federalist Pig, and Ensemble) in 2012 with their first location on H Street in D.C. The growing chain now has over 36 locations across the east coast including MoCo locations in Bethesda, Gaithersburg (Crown), Germantown, Pike & Rose, Silver Spring and a second Gaithersburg location coming soon.
Urban Plates has closed permanently in Montgomery Mall after almost two and a half years in the location.
The Southern California-based assembly line style fast casual restaurant took over the Naples Ristorante location in the mall’s food court and opened in March of 2019.
Montgomery County, Maryland, has long been known as one of the nation’s premier hubs for life sciences and technology but recently, the County has gained global recognition for another high-growth industry: satellite and advanced communications.
The roots of the County’s satellite ecosystem stretch back decades. The former COMSAT Laboratories in Clarksburg helped establish the foundation of modern satellite communications technology and continues to shape the industry today. That legacy directly contributed to the growth of companies like Hughes Network Systems, headquartered in Germantown, which is widely recognized as a pioneer of satellite internet technology and continues to employ nearly 1,000 people locally.
Home to over 120 satellite and advanced communications companies employing approximately 4,500 workers across the region, Montgomery County’s growing prominence in advanced antenna, satellite communications, and space technologies, includes the presence of visionary business leaders, like Eric Sung, CEO of Intellian Technologies who has dubbed the area “Satellite Valley” in recognition of its growing industry concentration and momentum. Intellian, which selected Rockville for its first U.S.-based Advanced Development Center, committed a $100 million investment to develop advanced satellite communication technologies, including phased array antennas and portable military-grade terminals designed for next-generation low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. Montgomery County’s concentration of satellite companies, engineering talent, and proximity to government and defense stakeholders made the region a strategic fit for their expansion.
A leading global provider of stabilized satellite communication and satellite TV antenna systems with more than 70 employees located in Montgomery County, Intellian was one of the businesses featured in a special report from the Financial Times’s fDi Intelligence released in May, highlighting the region’s expanding technology ecosystem. From legacy industry pioneers to fast-growing international companies, such as Thales Defense & Security, Montgomery County offers a deep talent pool with technical expertise, proximity to federal agencies, and highly welcoming and diverse communities, allowing it to continuously attract investment from around the world.

Vang thought of his mom’s story. She came to the United States as a refugee of the Secret War in Laos and was only able to find low paying jobs due to her limited English language skills. Even though she had to work multiple jobs, she always found time to cook amazing meals for her family.
Vang wanted to create opportunities for chefs like his mom, while introducing unique flavors to the D.C. area. Currently, Foodhini offers food from four chefs- an Eritrean chef, an Iranian chef, a Lao chef, and a Syrian chef. They plan to add more chefs and feature a wider variety of cuisines as they continue to grow.
