Hometown Pizza and Grill is now in its 30th year, and despite setbacks this year from the pandemic and a fire are up and running, and continuing to help the community.

All because locals are the core of his business, according to owner Rick Smith. Earlier in the year when the fire shut down his kitchen and restaurant, he was told it would take weeks before repairs were finished and he’d be up and running again. Instead, he was back in business in six days.

Check out this latest episode of the podcast to learn more about the restaurant on West Elm Street in downtown Rockmart, how Smith is helping out the band next week with a promotion, and much more.

Note: the promotion that Hometown Pizza is running from November 16 through November 20 will benefit the band with 10% of the week’s profits from the event.

For those who are hungry just thinking about it, here’s a helpful link to their website for online ordering (added in 2019.)
