Local Flavor, Big Dreams: Donatos Fort Mill

Here are 3 things to know about Donatos Pizza Fort Mill:
A Passion Project Turned Reality
Cody Weaver, originally from Dublin, Ohio, moved to the Carolinas in 2013 and settled in Fort Mill with his family in 2020. While continuing his full-time career in the footwear industry, Cody pursued a longtime dream: bringing the Columbus-born Donatos brand to the greater Charlotte region. With a dedicated team and strong community support, that dream became reality.
