Happy Joe’s Pizza & Ice Cream is bringing its signature brand of fun to the Grand Canyon State for the first time, celebrating the opening of its Tucson-area location with a signature pizza-cutting ceremony that puts the brand’s playful spirit front and center.
Located at 11695 N. Oracle Rd., Happy Joe’s opens its doors on March 27 with a twist on tradition, swapping scissors for pizza cutters as company leaders and local community members mark the occasion by slicing into a fresh, oversized pie.
The new Oro Valley restaurant introduces Arizona families to Happy Joe’s, a Midwest brand known for joyful dining experiences centered on pizza, ice cream and child-like wonder fitting for parents and kids alike. “Our restaurant has always been about more than what’s on the plate,” said Tom Sacco, CEO, president and chief happiness officer of Happy Joe’s. “Our pizza-cutting ceremonies capture that spirit perfectly. They’re fun, memorable and reflect the happiness we aim to bring into every community we serve.”
The Arizona shop is operated by MC2 Entertainment Group, LLC, an entrepreneurial team with a lifelong connection to Happy Joe’s. Inspired by childhood memories of the brand and its emphasis on family and celebration, the group chose Oro Valley’s family-friendly atmosphere as the ideal place to bring Happy Joe’s spirit to the community.
The Oro Valley shop will offer dine-in, carryout and delivery options. It also features Happy Joe’s modern prototype, designed to host everything from casual meals to birthday parties and group gatherings.
