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.

Olney has come in at number 7 in the Top 11 Family-Friendly Suburbs Where Parents Will Actually Want To Live list by Realtor.com. To come up with their list of suburbs, Realtor.com started by looking at the nation’s 11 largest cities and then moved to looking at the surrounding suburbs in each metro area with at least 10,000 people.
They took into account the percentage of children living in each city, school rankings, and family-friendly businesses (including day care centers). “To make sure these were places parents would want to live, too, there had to be plenty of restaurants, bars, and things to do, as well as a reasonable commute (most are under 40 minutes) for when they do have to go to the office.”
