Its first storefront opened in early August at 12350 Westheimer Road in the Westchase area, and its second at the 6405 Telephone Road outpost in the Glenbrook Valley neighborhood on August 23.

In addition to its seven signature pies – hence its name – both locations offer common pizza add-ons, like giant chicken wings, chicken tenders, baked subs, salads and fries, as well as a hot fudge cake as a nod to Shoney’s and his favorite dessert.
