G. Brint Ryan family office acquires Mr. Gatti’s Pizza

OneRyan Global LLC, the family office of Dallas businessman and philanthropist G. Brint Ryan, has acquired a controlling interest in Mr. Gatti’s Pizza, the Texas-born pizza and family entertainment chain. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. The acquisition caps a gradual deepening of the Ryan family’s involvement with the brand: OneRyan became a Mr. Gatti’s franchisee in 2022, took a minority stake in September 2025, and in October 2025 purchased the corporate-owned South Park Meadows location in Austin, completing the chain’s transition to a 100% franchised system. OneRyan also owns a Mr. Gatti’s Family Entertainment Center in Big Spring, Texas—G. Brint Ryan’s hometown. Under the new ownership structure, G. Brint Ryan will serve as Chairman and Amanda S. Ryan as Vice Chairwoman of the Board of Managers, while CEO Jim Phillips and CFO KC Mann remain in their roles. Mr. Gatti’s, founded in 1964 as The Pizza Place in Stephenville, Texas, and renamed after founder James Eure’s wife’s maiden name when it moved to Austin in 1969, operates more than 200 units open or in development across Texas and the Southeastern United States. The chain offers large family entertainment centers averaging 12,500 square feet featuring all-you-care-to-eat pizza buffets and arcade games, as well as smaller 1,200-square-foot delivery and carryout formats. The company reported system-wide sales of $129 million in 2024, up 14.8% year-over-year. Growth initiatives include an agreement to develop 92 units within Walmart Supercenter locations and a convenience store prototype.
