Venerable Worcester Pizzeria Changing Name, Owners

WORCESTER, MA — A longtime Lincoln Street pizzeria is changing owners and names.

Lincoln House of Pizza has been purchased by new owners and will become Garden Pizza and Sub following a vote of the Worcester License Commission on Thursday.

The Vasiliadis family has operated Lincoln House at the corner of Lincoln Street and Duxbury Road for decades, according to property records. The restaurant serves reliably good Greek-style pizza and other pizzeria fare.

New owner Vijay Patel told the license commissioners the pizzeria will largely serve the same food. The newly branded restaurant will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The license commissioners also approved several other restaurant changes and licenses on Thursday, including:

Hacienda Don Juan

The longtime Clark University-adjacent restaurant has been closed for a while, but it will soon come back with the same name under a new owner at 875 Main St.

My Rancho Restaurante

The owners are changing the name of the Dominican restaurant Picadera's at 704 Main St. to My Rancho, but keep the fare the same.

Havana Holdings Restaurant & Lounge

This new Cuban restaurant will open along Park Avenue in the former Sake Bomb space.
