Happy Joe's began experimenting with expanding the brand several years ago. We added a quaint bar to the Maquoketa location and later revamped the location in Eldridge introducing a new concept called 350 Grille. Both of these projects helped give Happy Joe's the insight we needed to launch our next big thing, the Happy Joe's PIZZAGRILLE! The mission of the PIZZAGRILLE concept is to continue to provide all of the Happy Joe's favorites our guests have grown to love, while including new and exciting offerings to get more guests inside the restaurant ,and appeal to a lifestyle shift that requires more variety and convenience.
The first official PIZZAGRILLE is located at 1616 West Locust Street, former home of The Chef's Hat Pizza. This new Happy Joe's PIZZAGRILLE has many unique offerings including pub fare and an entirely new grille menu featuring a line of gourmet burgers, pork tenderloin sandwiches, new unique salads and sandwiches, salmon, steak, and prime rib. We've also brought back the popular Chef's Hat pizza! There's a convenient drive up window at this location. That's right! You can now get Chef's Hat pizza at both the West Locust Street and Bettendorf Happy Joe's locations. There's a convenient drive-up window at the West Locust Street location, and nearly all of our offerings are available for pick-up and delivery.
The new PIZZAGRILLE sports our new TAP ROOM with a variety of craft beers on tap and a full bar. Guests can enjoy over 20 flat screen TVs to watch their favorite game. To satisfy your sweet tooth we've included Joegurt, our line of frozen yogurt, with 6 rotating flavors at all times, that can be topped with a variety of sweets from our toppings bar. Joegurt tastes just like rich ice cream, but it's better for you with fewer calories, more calcium, and probiotics!
The second PIZZAGRILLE project opened at 909 West 4th Street in Milan, IL and includes a special entrance for carryout orders. Both restaurants also offer omelet pizzas which have become a very popular morning item for our guests.
Both locations deliver and have online ordering and the reviews from fans have been stellar. Kristel Ersan, Marketing Director for Happy Joe's, stated, "The new Happy Joe's PizzaGrills are just another evolution to ensure Happy Joe's continues to offer our guests new and exciting ways to enjoy our brand. The positive responses we've received from our guests have been incredible and we will continue to expand into more locations."
