Piada Italian Street Food restaurant interior with warm atmosphere
15+ Years of Passion

Born from a Love of Authentic Piada

Piada began with a simple dream: to bring the vibrant flavors of authentic piada italian street food to the streets of United States. Inspired by the flatbread wraps of Romagna, Italy — where vendors have crafted piada for centuries — our founders set out to honor that tradition with every ingredient.

From our first location in Plano, TX, we have stayed true to our roots: hand-rolled flatbreads, house-made sauces, and locally sourced proteins layered with Mediterranean-inspired toppings. Every piada we craft is a celebration of bold, honest flavor.

Today, Piada has grown into a beloved destination for food lovers across the region, but our philosophy has never changed — fresh ingredients, fast service, and flavors that transport you to the cobblestone piazzas of northern Italy.
