Squisito Ashburn - NOW OPEN

Tuesday, October 24, 2017

(RestaurantNews.com) There’s a new Squisito in town! Keith Baker, who has been talking about owning his own Italian restaurant for years, has fulfilled his dream. Squisito Pizza & Pasta makes the perfect addition to the Loudoun County community. Squisito Pizza & Pasta is a full service dining experience in a fast casual setting, where the guest places their order at the counter from an extensive menu. The brand is an authentic Italian restaurant serving neighborhoods around Maryland and Virginia. Squisito Franchise Enterprises, Inc. is the principle franchisor and has been franchising for over 6 years. This new location in Ashburn, VA marks the 3rd franchised location and Baker is one of five franchisees. Keith Baker first visited a Squisito Pizza & Pasta in Annapolis, MD 5 years ago. He couldn’t get enough of the food and was thrilled to hear the brand was franchising and he would be able to open his very own Squisito. Now that dream has become a reality and Squisito Ashburn is open to the public. “I’ve been in the restaurant business since I was thirteen. I started working as a dish washer and worked my way up to making pizzas, pastas, salads and subs. I love the business and have always wanted to own my own restaurant. When I was researching franchise opportunities, Squisito popped up and I thought, wow I could actually do a franchise with these people because it’s homemade food with homemade recipes, fresh ingredients and everything is made in house. When I talked to Gennaro and Michele I realized I also had the opportunity to be creative with the restaurant. Everything combined is what made me really excited about opening my own Squisito!” said Baker on his adventure with the brand. “We are so excited to have Keith Baker join the Squisito family. His passion for detail and quality, love for Italian food, especially his excellent pizza making skills, and his outgoing friendly personality is a win, win, win combination. It’s been a long time coming for him and a life long dream to own his very own Italian restaurant and personally we couldn’t be happier. He’s the perfect fit for our concept!” said Michele DiMeo, President of Squisito Franchise Enterprises, Inc. Each Squisito Pizza & Pasta location embodies the same core values- delicious, fresh, traditional Italian food, incredible customer service and a dedication to give back to the community. Squisito Ashburn follows these same principles through “Squisito Nights”, good grades programs, donations, sponsorships and fundraisers. There are endless possibilities for the community to be supported by this brand new Squisito. For more information about community involvement with Squisito head to Our Community Page.
