we're changing our name!
same tasty food & same wonderful people
Many ask why we're changing our name after only six months. Fair question! We launched our restaurant in the spirit of our family's twenty year old restaurant back in Michigan where it is also named Village Pizza & BBQ. Once we got here, however, a few things became evident. For starters, people were mixing us up with other similarly named restaurants - and not just the Village Tavern here in Long Grove.
Along with this, Joanie Shunia is not only the owner, but also the heartbeat of the restaurant. It was actually customers that urged us to rename the restaurant to Joanie's. From there, we just had to figure out the right combination of words to let the world know who we are and what we're doing. From there, Joanie's Pizzeria of Long Grove was born.
