Brgr:Shack may be forced to rename itself.

Pizzas, pizzas, everywhere...

Yes, more pizza is on the way--this time to Frederick.

Coal Fire is slated to open this spring in the new Clemson Corner shopping center. The pizzeria will feature crispy, charred pies prepared in a 900-hundred degree coal-fired oven. The menu will be similar to the eatery’s other two locations in Ellicott City and Gaithersburg. In addition to custom-order pizzas and a few speciality pies, the menu also offers pastas, salads, and hero sandwiches.

Rosslyn workers will soon have a new option for lunch. Construction for Zpizza’s new location at 1100 Wilson Blvd. is nearly complete and the store is expected to open in a couple of weeks. The California-based pizza chain features gourmet pies made with organic ingredients. The menu also includes salads, sandwiches, and pastas.

Another New York-style pizza joint is coming to Clarendon. Bronx Pizza is set to open at 3100 Clarendon Blvd. this summer, says ARLnow. Owner Mike Cordero plans to outfit the eatery with a New York City-style and décor. He also says he plans to attract patrons by offering a late-menu.

BGR vs brgr

BGR The Burger Joint has engaged in legal council to protect its trademark, reports Washingtonian. BGR founder Mark Bucher says he hopes the newly opened brgr:shack in Arlington changes its name.  He also says Shake Shack owner Danny Meyer may request a name change for the newcomer as well, as Meyer is set to open Shake Shack’s first District location later this year. But a manager over at brgr:shack insists their name is original.
