Worker At Porky's Pizza Palace In Pleasanton Contracts COVID-19

PLEASANTON, CA — Porky's Pizza Palace in Pleasanton closed Wednesday morning after it learned an employee tested positive for the coronavirus, management announced Wednesday.

The store will be deep-cleaned and sanitized, Porky's Pizza Palace said. It expects to reopen June 2 after verifying that all staff have gone two weeks without experiencing COVID-19-related symptoms since May 18, the sick employee's last day at work.

The worker did not experience symptoms at work and did not return after starting to feel sick, Porky's Pizza Palace said.

The family-owned pizzeria has been operating in San Leandro for more than three decades and opened in Pleasanton last year, at the former site of Straw Hat Pizza (2911 Hopyard Road). The San Leandro site has not been impacted, Porky's Pizza Palace said.
