Fazoli’s owner Rodney Keys has been serving great pasta dishes and supporting the local community for two years.
In a whirlwind of marinara and garlic festivities, Fazoli’s, the beloved Italian-American fast-casual restaurant, celebrates its second anniversary.

Reflecting on the past two years, Keys expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support from the community. “It’s been an incredible journey,” he remarked. “We had the chance to serve our loyal customers and share our passion for Italian cuisine. This anniversary is a testament to the dedication of our hardworking team and the love of our wonderful customers.
When he first bought the business, he said the restaurant was closed and sales were at an all-time low. “We had to rebuild it,” he said.
Keys sees the fruits of his labor. For the past three weeks, the store has surpassed sales records week over week. “We have plaques in the store commemorating our sales trend,” he said.
Although happy with his sales numbers, Keys is more satisfied with his business being able to support the community. His first year in business, he donated meals to the Florida Strawberry Festival.

While Keys enjoys helping the community, the community enjoys helping itself with Fazoli’s wide array of menu items. Plant City resident Brad Yocom stopped for lunch to satisfy a spaghetti craving. He ordered baked spaghetti with salad, breadsticks and a soda.
“I got the lunch special and it was $8.02 including tax which was a little more because I got the baked spaghetti because I like that baked cheese on top” , did he declare. “It’s the best spaghetti in town and the price is unbeatable, you can’t go to another fast food place and spend less.”
Keys encouraged residents to follow her social media presence at Fazoli’s Plant City on Facebook. “We want everyone to like us, follow us and check in when you come to our store,” he said. “When you do, you get a free brownie or cookie.”
Fazoli’s is open Monday to Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
