Stoughton's Town Spa Pizza Closing Mondays Due To Short Staffing
A beloved pizza shop in Stoughton will be limiting their business to keep up with the high demand.
STOUGHTON, MA — Most employees who worked in pizza shops that survived the beginning of the pandemic are beyond exhausted.
Pizza places have been working non-stop to bump out as much product as they can, as most of them were the only open restaurants around.
Town Spa Pizza in Stoughton is no exception. On Tuesday, management took to Facebook, alerting customers they would no longer be open on Mondays to help alleviate some of the stress on the staff.

"We have been shorthanded for months and feel this is the best decision to provide some temporary relief & continue to ensure quality food and service to our valued customers," management wrote.
The Washington Street spot first opened in 1986, but the famous Town Spa Pizza recipe has been around since 1955, according to the restaurant's website.

Popularity has only grown since then, and staff is worried they can't keep up. "Our Kitchen staff has been working tirelessly throughout the Pandemic. They can’t keep running at the pace they have been, and we cannot operate efficiently without them," the post continued.
Town Spa will be closed on Mondays, effective immediately with the first official Monday closed on August 23.
