US-based Stoner’s Pizza Joint has committed to opening eight new restaurant venues in the Orlando metropolitan area.

The company expects two of the sites to start trading later this year. Those openings are planned for Orlando Sodo and Ocoee.

Stoner's Pizza Joint CEO John Stetson said: “The expansion in Orlando is a testament to the strength of our brand and the confidence our franchise partners have in our model.

“With eight units now committed in the market, we're excited to build a strong presence in Central Florida and bring Stoner's Pizza Joint to more communities in the region.”

The latest commitments follow a recently signed development deal covering ten locations in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Stoner’s Pizza Joint has been entering new US states, including Kansas and Tennessee, and recently added four outlets, which included its first restaurants in those markets.

The chain is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and has more than 60 locations across the US.

It has also launched updated versions of its website and mobile app.

Stoner’s Pizza Joint said the revised digital channels are intended to make ordering easier, with a refreshed design and added features.

In October 2024, Stoner’s Pizza Joint opened its 50th restaurant in San Marcos, Texas.

The brand also noted that it is actively seeking qualified franchise partners to expand its network.
