Piada Italian Street Food is a fast casual Italian cuisine restaurant chain with 44 locations in six states (Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Texas).[1] There are 25 locations in Ohio, two in Indiana, one in Kentucky, three in Minnesota, eight in Texas, and five in Pennsylvania.

The restaurant features custom-rolled wraps in a stone-grilled, thin-crusted dough made from organic flour and extra virgin olive oil, as well as chopped salads and bowls.[2] The chain features food prepared along an assembly line, and has been called an Italian copycat of Chipotle Mexican Grill.[3]

Chris Doody, owner of the company, is a co-founder of the Bravo Brio Restaurant Group chain.[2] He sold his stake to investors in 2006 and launched the Piada concept around the Italian "wrap-like sandwich" known as a Piada or Piadina, a street food he sampled in northern Italy. It is stuffed with pastas, meats, cheeses, sauce and vegetables.[4] Piada also serves pasta bowls, chopped salads, power bowls and soups. They also offer cannoli chips—a dessert item and customer favorite. There is a kids menu featuring smaller versions of the main menu items.
