Mesa, clear your calendar and bring your appetite.

Angry Chickz is opening its first restaurant in the city on April 17, 2026, at 2105 S. Alma School Road, Suite 102. The new location marks our third restaurant in Arizona and 37th nationwide, bringing bold Nashville hot chicken and plenty of Angry energy to the East Valley.

Six Heat Levels. One Very Important Decision.

At Angry Chickz, choosing your meal is easy. Choosing your heat level? That is where things get interesting.

Our made-to-order tenders, sliders and bowls are available in six heat levels, starting with Country, which brings all the flavor without the fire, and climbing all the way to our famously intense Angry level.

Angry is not just spicy. It is waiver spicy.

Guests who order the Angry heat level must acknowledge and sign the Angry Heat Level Waiver before taking it on. Consider it a friendly reminder that this is not the time to let peer pressure make your lunch decisions.

Meet the Angry Mac

This fan favorite stacks crispy chicken tenders over seasoned fries and creamy mac and cheese, creating the kind of meal that makes sharing feel highly optional. Pick your heat level, grab a fork and prepare for a glorious combination of crispy, creamy and seriously craveable.

Of course, you can also keep it classic with our signature tenders and sliders or build a bowl that brings together all your favorite flavors.

Big Flavor Is Coming to Alma School Road

Located along one of Mesa’s main corridors, the new restaurant is built for guests who want bold flavor, made-to-order food and a high-energy experience.

“Mesa is exactly the kind of community we want to put down roots in—strong local pride, steady growth and a real appetite for new dining experiences,” said Angry Chickz founder and CEO David Mkhitaryan.

The Mesa restaurant will also prioritize local hiring, helping build a team that reflects and supports the surrounding community. That means the people serving up the heat will be part of the same community enjoying it.

From East Hollywood to the East Valley

Angry Chickz started in 2018 inside a 900-square-foot storefront in Los Angeles’ East Hollywood neighborhood. Since then, our passion for bold flavor and guest-first hospitality has helped us become one of the fastest-rising brands in the hot chicken category.

Along the way, Angry Chickz has earned recognition from QSR, Nation’s Restaurant News, Fast Casual and Franchise Times. But no matter how far we grow, our focus stays the same: make crave-worthy food, keep the energy high and make every guest feel taken care of.
