Vacationers checking out the theme parks and shows in Branson, Missouri, now have another family-friendly pizza option, thanks to a newly opened Happy Joe’s Pizza & Ice Cream location.
Happy Joe’s opened its latest restaurant in Branson on Monday, June 19, at 1420 West 76 Country Blvd. next to the Red Lion Inn and Suites. It’s the chain’s second Missouri restaurant and the 41st systemwide. It features more than 3,000 square feet of dining space, a Family Fun Center and breakfast for Red Lion guests and the community.
With the Branson Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, Happy Joe’s hosted a pizza-cutting ceremony featuring the Lollapalozza Pizza, Happy Joe’s ginormous pizza that feeds up to 20 people. Tom Sacco, the brand’s CEO and chief happiness officer, attended the event along with Branson Mayor Larry Milton.
