Greenville’s Rapid Fired Pizza Opens with 500 Free Pizza Giveaway

January 29, 2017 By Dayton Most Metro

Rapid Fired Pizza will be opening their newest restaurant at 1487 Wagner Ave in Greenville, Ohio on Monday, January 30th, followed by a 500-pizza giveaway on Tuesday.

“We will be giving out 500 free pizzas on Tuesday, so we hope the families, local residents and employees in Greenville will plan to come by for lunch or dinner and try out our some Amazingly Good® Amazingly Fast® Pizza.” says Ray Wiley a co-founder of Rapid Fired Pizza. “We are asking customers to dress warm because the waiting line will probably be wrapped around the building like it was in Kettering 4 weeks ago.” Local residents have been anxiously waiting for this location to open its doors and that will happen at 10:30am Monday, as well as on Tuesday for the free pizza giveaway, which is one per person.

Rapid Fired Pizza is a fast-casual concept that features fresh made, 11-inch thin crust and 9-inch pan and one-of-a-kind No-Doh pizzas cooked in 180 seconds. Customers can choose from eight sauces, eight cheeses, over thirty toppings, and nineteen dipping sauces to build their perfect pizza, or try one of the ten craft pizzas on the menu. Made to order craft and custom salads are also available in addition to breadsticks and desserts. The Pepsi Spire provides over 120 drink combinations plus Wine and Cider will also be available in the near future.

Quick Serve Sushi Rolls Out In Kettering

November 22, 2014 By Lisa Grigsby

10749993_365874560244475_7567986784487767817_oThere’s a new quick serve restaurant in town, as SUMERA officially opens its doors today at 4313 Far Hills Avenue, in the strip mall that also hosts a Chipotle and Firehouse Subs.   Open from 10:30am to 10pm seven days a week, you can eat in or have your meal packed for take out.

While traditional Sushi restaurants focus on raw selections like Salmon, Smoked Salmon, Spicy Tuna and Tuna; SUMERA makes Sushi accessible to the masses by adding cooked products like steak, chicken, tofu, shrimp, and peanut butter and jelly – and you can choose it in a roll or a noodle bowl.

As you walk down the order line you can choose one of their eight specialty rolls featured on the menu or create your own:

California

Crab Stick, Cucumber, Carrots, Avocado, Green Onion, Sweet Soy, Sesame Seeds

Steak House

The fun part is you can customize any of the rolls or bowls, any way you like, adding or omitting carrots, green onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, avacados or other veggies and then you can customize your meal by adding toppings like bacon, sesame seeds, eel sauce, wasabi mayo, crunch tempura or many others options.

You can add a cucumber or seaweed salad, miso soup  or other sides to your meal and then head down to the fountain drink station where Pepsi products are featured.  Co-owner Kelly Gray shares that desserts will also be an option, and shared “they will featured seasonal fruits, and we even have an apple pie roll and a Japanese favorite the Pocky Stick- a crunchy cookie dipped in chocolate.”
In a hurry?  There will be a quick serve case stocked with SUMERA’s specialty rolls, salads and dessert options so you can grab and go.  There will be a self serve credit card scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding any lines that may be at the counter.

Ray Wiley, Kelly Gray, Matt Curtis and Tim Tefs

Opening any new restaurant is a risk, but the ownership team behind this new fast causal sushi joint have some pretty good successes behind them already.  Leading the team is Ray Wiley, founder of Hot Head Burrtios, a concept he began right here in Kettering in 2007.  Hot Head currently has close to 60 locations, some company owned, many franchised.  He also is a franchise holder of 7 Subways in the area. Kelly Gray brings her real estate knowledge to the team as a successful Dayton commercial realtor.  Matt Curtis is a 30 year veteran of restaurants, having worked with Skyline Chili, Subway and is a current owner of 13 Hot Head Burritos restaurants.  Tif Tefs owns 10 Subway restaurants, co-owns 5 Hot Head Burritos restaurants and was former owner and area developer for a full service sports bar chain.

 

While it will take a little time to get this first Sumera rolling efficiently, plans are already under way to add two more locations in 2015.  Realty expert Gray shares they are looking in Beavercreek and near Austin Landing for the next locations.
