Johnny’s Pizza May Open On Broad Street

Rome News Tribune:

A Johnny’s New York Style Pizza restaurant slated to open in downtown Rome early next year will result in a business shuffle.

Franchisee Robert Blumberg plans a March opening of the pizzeria at 233 Broad St., according to Ann Arnold, executive director of the Downtown Development Authority. Riverside Gourmet, which currently occupies the site, is moving, although a new location has not yet been announced, said Manager Myra Hamilton.

The DDA has applied for a $130,000 Georgia Cities Foundation low-interest loan for Blumberg’s project — to renovate and prepare the building. Arnold said Thursday that he has alternate financing in place “but it always helps to get a lower rate.”
