Simple Simon’s Pizza Begins a New Chapter in Webb City with a Family Grand Opening Celebration

After closing its Joplin location, locally owned restaurant reopens off Route 66 with live music, community speakers, and two days of family-friendly events

WEBB CITY, MO, UNITED STATES, May 4, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A familiar name in local dining is opening its doors to a brand-new home—and inviting the entire community to celebrate together. Simple Simon’s Pizza has officially transitioned from its former location in Joplin and is proud to announce the grand opening of its new restaurant in Webb City, just off the historic Route 66.

More than just a move, this moment represents a renewed commitment to community, family, and faith-centered values—the same principles that have guided owner Andy Martin, a lifelong member of the area who has built his reputation not just as a business owner, but as a neighbor, supporter, and familiar face in the community.

“This has always been about more than pizza,” Martin shared. “It’s about giving families a place to gather, laugh, and spend time together. Webb City is a tight-knit community, and we’re honored to continue serving right here at home.”
