Joe's Pizza and Subs restaurant is scheduled to open Friday, April 4,
in Quarry Plaza, with a grand opening later in the month. The restaurant's
opening had been delayed because of remodeling work.
A wide variety of food will be offered, from pizza and hamburgers to
vegan dishes and Middle Eastern specialties. The restaurant also plans
to sell more than 50 kinds of New York–style sub sandwiches and have
daily specials.
A coffee bar, big-screeen television set, and a pool table will be available in the restaurant, which is part of the Graduate Commmons building. Owner Joe Hammana has also applied for a liquor license, and plans to begin selling beer and wine soon.
