Westshore Pizza Comes to Lakewood Ranch

Westshore Pizza is coming to Lakewood Ranch.

The popular Florida-based pizza restaurant is set to open in the Lakewood Walk shopping center, at the corner of State Road 70 and Lakewood Ranch Boulevard.

Westshore has 28 locations in Florida, mostly in the Tampa and St. Petersburg areas, plus two in Ohio, according to the franchise's website. In Manatee County, Westshore was previously located at 5917 Manatee Ave. West in Bradenton. That location has closed.

The new Lakewood Ranch location can be found in the middle of a Publix-anchored shopping center. 

An employee who was setting up inside the restaurant Thursday said it could be open as early as Friday, Feb. 22.
