A new fast-casual pizza place opened Sunday in Palatine and is promising to serve up personal pie options to customers in less than five minutes.

Pie Five Pizza will open its fifth location in Chicagoland at 787 E. Dundee Road, which is located just west of Rand Road.

“We’ve received an awesome response from pizza lovers in the Chicagoland area, and are excited to expand to a great family community like Palatine,” said Randy Grier, CEO of Pie Five.

To kick off the opening celebration, 50 percent of pre-opening proceeds will be donated to the Illinois chapter of Make-A-Wish Foundation. On Monday, a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m. with Mayor Jim Schwantz in attendance.

The Pie Five model allows patrons to top their pizzas any way they want for $6.99. Pie Five customers can create with four crusts (including artisan thin, classic pan, whole grain Neapolitan and gluten-free), seven sauces and 28 fresh toppings.

Pie Five plans to open 500 company-owned and franchise units across the country in the next five years. There are more Chicago-area locations planned before the end of the year, including a Pie Five in Bloomingdale, Elmhurst and Glenview.
