Pizza Inn, a chain that is known for its pizza buffet and dessert pizzas, is bringing a location to 2600 Highway 378 in Gilbert. That’s next door to a Mobil gas station at the corner of Highway 378 and Priceville Road. The pizza restaurant will be in a space that formerly was home to a Blimpie sub sandwich shop.
The Pizza Inn at 2600 Highway 378 is listed as a commercial project in the July agenda packet of the Lexington County Planning Commission. There is a sign — which features the grinning visage of Pizza Inn’s mascot JoJo — posted by the road in front of the location that notes restaurant is now hiring. The restaurant was not yet open when a reporter briefly went by on Monday afternoon, but prep work was ongoing inside the space to convert it to a Pizza Inn.
The pizza spot will be near Lake Murray. It’s about 2 miles east of SouthShore Marina.
