Thank You For 33 Years!

A huge "thank you" to our beautiful community for making our 33rd annual anniversary event a success.  This years celebration was the first of its kind as we served up our famous .99 pasta take-out style. And thanks to your support, we even set a record in pounds of pasta and hand-rolled meatballs sold.  Area youth ministries who blessed our staff during the aftermath of our fire were our cause for raising funds this year and you, our loyal community made it happen. Our makeshift kitchen included a few tables under a tent along with our catering truck parked just behind our new restaurant construction site.  It was a sweet reunion to have the Papa Joe's family of old employees back together again and we had a blast!  To our extended Papa Joe's family, our customers, it was great to see you all, it is because of you that Papa Joe's has had a reason to celebrate for the past few decades.  Your smiling faces and and encouraging words have touched our hearts and we are so thankful to call you our friends!  We look forward to our next celebration, the grand opening of your new Papa Joe's Restaurant, refined by fire! Thank you for 33 years!

.99 Dinners To Celebrate 33 Years

Papa Joe's Restaurant will be celebrating its 33rd anniversary tomorrow, October 7th, 2014. Every Fall has marked another year for the iconic restaurant and since the 80's this has been cause for a huge, community wide festival hosted by Papa Joe's. Tomorrow marks the 33rd year of business for owners Joe and Donna and although their restaurant was destroyed by an attic fire back in January, the tradition is not to be missed.  The festivities of years past have included Italian cart rides, face painting, pony rides, music, and performances of all kinds and of course, the famous .99 spaghetti!  This years anniversary celebration will be much more quiet and in fact, the most humble ever.  Instead of the usual, patriotic festivities, Papa Joe's Catering will set up a drive thru serving the most scrumptious pasta and garlic bread around for only .99, that is right...dinner for less than a dollar!   Perhaps the most beautiful part of this annual event is that it has always been about giving back to the community, each year a charity is chosen to benefit from the proceeds.  This will never change!  More than ever, it is the heart of Papa Joe's to contribute to the wonderful people of Brooksville!  Hernando county youth ministries will benefit this year.  Door prize tickets will be available to further support the ministries and you need not be present to win.  Prizes include game tickets, flat screen TV's and more.  Papa Joe's t-shirts and his famous meatballs will be available for purchase as well.  The Capricci's Gift Shop will be open for browsing and will hold a store wide sale.  The event is to be held at the original Papa Joe's site for drive thru, cash only service.  Come out and get your Papa Joe's pasta fix and support our great community!
