"As a proud Kansan and former Wildcat, I'm roaring with excitement as we open the first Pie Five location in Manhattan," said local franchise partner and proud K-State alum, Lyssa Krumholtz. "At Pie Five, we're all about individuality and guest satisfaction and who doesn't love a place where you can choose from over a million different pie combinations, have your pizza cooked in under 5 minutes and all for one low price?"

Not only does Pie Five bring the freshest and fastest pizza to each new location, the leading fast casual pizzeria is always looking for exciting and engaging ways to give back to communities. During the Manhattan grand opening, Pie Five will host a fundraising competition between local student organizations. In addition to some healthy charitable competition, Pie Five Manhattan will continue to host their Pie-Lan-Thropic events in which 20 percent of proceeds are donated back to local organizations.
