On March 3, 2011, Gattitown had its grand opening with a warm welcoming from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, El Paso Boy Scouts and Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce.

Foodservice Management Systems (FMS) opened Gattitown in El Paso to give a nice pizzeria restaurant that offers an enjoyable ambbiance for the whole family.  Gattitown is a 46,000 square foot, all-you can eat buffet with it’s own unique style of pizza. It offers different types of attractions that accommodate different age groups such as go-karts, bumper boats, miniature golf and bowling. It also has a large arcade room, and VIP birthday rooms.

Stephen White, General Manager of Gattitown said “I think it is going to have a huge impact on the east side business. I think that you know that the Gattitown experience is going to be really, really, dominant.” Stephen continued, ”We got everything under one roof… The pizza quality is unbelievable. Plus all the fun inside is like the perfect marriage.”

 Now Gattitown was originally opened in 1969 in Austin, Texas and is owned by Mr. Gatti’s LP. It has opened 18 other Gattitowns in 5 other states. Other locations can be found in Louisiana, Oklahoma and other parts of Texas. Gattitown had their soft opening on Valentines Day. “So El Paso watch out… So if it’s hot outside or its cold outside. This is the best place to be.” Said Stephen White, of Gattitown.

 If you would like to have a good time with a slice of pizza you should come to Gattitown on 1430 North Lee Trevino. Ph: 915-592-4100
