The first Campisi’s opened in Dallas in 1946. The most famous Campisi's location is the one near SMU on Mockingbird Lane location in Dallas. The Mockingbird Lane location opened in 1950.

Campisi’s currently operates 10 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and the Lubbock location will be the first outside of DFW. The current CEO of Campisi’s, David Campisi, is a 1992 Texas Tech graduate.
