We have some good news!

We did have an employee test positive for COVID-19. The employee is receiving treatment and is on track to make a full recovery!

We have been given the green light to reopen, per the health department, and we will at 3 p.m., Wednesday, July 22nd! We’ve had multiple teams in to give various deep cleaning and professional cleaning to ensure our restaurant is safe.

We will have limited staff as some are monitoring themselves. This means we will have a limited menu as well. We ask that you stay patient with us. We will be doing the best we can with what we have!

We will be implementing contactless browsing with our menu. You will find various QR codes to scan at the front of the restaurant. Simply just pull your phone out, open the camera, and place the code to be scanned with your phone. You will also be able to still order online as well at www.sloopyspizza.com

We appreciate the kind words we have seen and messages received! Our community is the best! We hope you all continue to stay safe and we look forward to making your next pizza!

  • Additional vendors will be placed in the Pavilion Circle and/or the cannon area of Bettinger Park to allow appropriate social distancing.
  • Only 1 customer in a tent at a time.
  • All vendors are required to wear masks.
  • Vendors will attempt to reduce the number of display items that people typically touch, putting them in display cases, and sanitizing them when a customer handles them.
  • Vendors will be encouraged to roll up the sides of their tents to promote airflow, weather permitting.
  • The vendors in the large tent will be greatly reduced and the sides rolled up, weather permitting. Paths of egress will be marked so there’s an in/out flow.
  • Hand sanitizer stations will be placed throughout the show.
