About Parry’s Pizzeria & Taphouse
Parry’s opened its first location in Parker, Colorado, in 2007. Since then the brand has expanded to about 30 locations across Colorado, Texas, Arizona and Nevada. The chain’s menu focuses on classic New York‑style pizza, a variety of wing sauces, pasta dishes and a rotating selection of craft beers. In addition to dine‑in service, Parry’s offers catering for parties, corporate events and other group gatherings.
Impact on the Grand Prairie community
The new restaurant is expected to create construction jobs in the short term and permanent positions once the doors open, contributing to the local economy. Grand Prairie officials have welcomed the investment, noting that the project aligns with the city’s ongoing efforts to attract dining and entertainment venues that serve both residents and visitors.
Local residents will gain a new dining option that emphasizes quality pizza and a family‑friendly atmosphere, fitting well with Grand Prairie’s growing culinary scene. The covered patio will provide a comfortable outdoor space for families and groups, especially during the warmer months.
What’s next?
Parry’s has not announced a specific opening date for the Grand Prairie location. The company’s public relations team was contacted for comment, but no response was received at the time of publication. Updates on construction progress and the eventual opening will be shared via the chain’s Instagram account, where interested diners can follow for the latest news.
Community response
While the announcement is still early in the development process, local business owners and community members have expressed optimism that Parry’s will add variety to the city’s dining options and generate additional tax revenue. The project also reflects a broader trend of restaurant chains expanding into the Dallas‑Fort Worth metroplex, signaling confidence in the region’s economic outlook.
