Property Description
''Dove c'è pizza, c'è amore.'' Where there's pizza, there's love. Joe & Lorenzo's: A Hawley Legacy, Served Hot for over 40 Years In the heart of downtown Hawley, nestled along the banks of middle creek right off the Lackawaxen River, stands a local legend: Joe & Lorenzo's. For over four decades, this family ran and family-favorite pizzeria has been more than just a restaurant — it's been a ritual, a meeting place, a memory-maker. Since opening its doors over 40 years ago, Joe & Lorenzo's has been a cornerstone of the community. Generations have grown up with the comforting scent of fresh pizza dough and the sound of laughter in the air with the familiar faces behind the counter. Whether it's grabbing a quick slice after school, feeding a Friday night crowd, or ordering enough takeout to feed a family reunion or baseball team — Joe & Lorenzo's has delivered, time and time again. Recently remodeled from top to bottom, the space now shines with fresh energy and modern efficiency, while still honoring the warmth and charm of its legacy. All equipment is brand new, the kitchen is fully updated, and the dining room and riverfront patio have been thoughtfully reimagined to welcome today's diners and tomorrow's. And the takeout business? It's nothing short of phenomenal. Known for its speed, consistency, and crowd-pleasing menu, Joe & Lorenzo's has a reputation that reaches beyond town lines — keeping the phone ringing and the ovens running seven days a week. With its prime location in the center of Hawley, surrounded by local shops, theaters, events, and natural beauty, this is a turnkey opportunity to carry on a beloved brand — or bring your own vision to life within a name that's already stood the test of time. Joe & Lorenzo's isn't just a pizza place. It's a legacy, a landmark, and a labor of love. And now, the next chapter of this once in a lifetime opportunity is ready to be written — by you.
