For anyone who has ever wished for a QSR/fast casual restaurant that serves both pizza and burgers on the same menu, Fat Brands has made your dreams a reality, at least in Dallas.

Fat (Fresh Authentic Tasty) Brands has combined two of its well-known chains, Fatburger and Round Table Pizza, into one co-branded location in Dallas. The first-of-its-kind 3,500-square-foot restaurant, located in Dallas’ Lantana neighborhood, offers full-service, full-bar, casual dining and menus from both chains.

The new co-branded location will “allow guests to enjoy the best of both brands in one space, creating a seamless experience that caters to a range of tastes,” said Taylor Wiederhorn, chief development officer of FAT Brands, in a release. “With the success Fatburger has seen co-branding with Buffalo's Cafe and Express, we're eager to see this new venture with Round Table Pizza.”

There are three additional Round Table and Fatburger co-branded restaurants also planned for the greater Dallas area, all operated by SNM Management Group.

The 70+-year-old Los Angeles native Fatburger, with over 100 units in the U.S. touts burgers that can be customized with everything from bacon and eggs to chili and onion rings..

Founded in 1959 in Menlo Park, California, Round Table Pizza has promoted itself as “Pizza Royalty” for using homemade dough, a signature three-cheese blend and ingredients “topped to the edge.” The 400-unit nationwide chain has recently revamped its logo and now sells Round Table Pizza branded merchandise such as T-shirts, masks, bags and hoodies on its website.

Fat Brands’ total of 18 restaurant brand, also includes Johnny Rockets, Fazoli’s, Twin Peaks, Great American Cookies, Pretzelmaker,  Native Grill & Wings, Ponderosa and Bonanza Steakhouses, with more than 2,300 units worldwide.
