We operate family-friendly restaurants serving pizza, ice cream, breakfast foods, and other related menu items. Our locations are designed as casual, welcoming places for families and guests looking for a fun dining experience. We serve customers through a restaurant-based food service model under the HAPPY JOE’S and HAPPY JOE’S PIZZA & ICE CREAM PARLOR names. Our concept combines made-to-order meals and dessert items in a neighborhood-style restaurant setting.
