Charlotte-based pizza brand King of Fire is expanding its footprint with a new brick-and-mortar location planned for Indian Land. The new restaurant will occupy a 3,484-square-foot space at the CrossRidge Center and is expected to open in summer 2026. This will be the second permanent location for the company, which started as a food truck.
Award-winning pizza maker Siler Chapman launched King of Fire as a mobile food truck in 2018 and later opened a restaurant in Uptown Charlotte. The brand has since grown its fleet to seven wood-fired food trucks, which operate throughout the region.
The menu is known for its variety of wood-fired pizzas, which range from classic options like a simple margherita to more creative specialty pizzas. Among its popular offerings are The Fiesta, which features grilled chicken, jalapeños, and a cilantro lime crema, and the Honey Pie, topped with pepperoni and a drizzle of honey.
King of Fire is also planning to bring its mobile food truck offerings to the Greenville, Spartanburg, and Clemson areas in spring 2026. Looking ahead, the brand is actively seeking franchisees to support its continued growth.
