Linda's Pizza Westside Opens For Lunch Amid Coronavirus
Wednesday marked the first day Linda's Pizza Westside, 723 Taylor St., kept the small carryout restaurant for a lunch crowd.
JOLIET, IL — Linda's Pizza has been a small neighborhood pizza parlor in Joliet since 1981 and not much has changed over the years. But Wednesday, something was different at 723 Taylor St. Linda's Westside opened from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in hopes of gaining extra business in the Joliet area from the lunch crowd.
"We will be open for lunch for both pickup and delivery starting on Wednesday, April 22," Linda's informed its Facebook followers. "Lunch hours will be Monday-Friday 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. We also are still open our regular business hours 7 days a week."
