Remember “14 days to flatten the curve and eradicate COVID,” and yet here we are entering 2022 with new variants, longer incubation times, new travel restrictions and more cases daily. At Creekside, we reduced our capacity at Christmas to 50%, and then for the first time since the fires of 2019 killed our power and our operations, we shut our doors on Boxing Day after being informed that a December 25th evening guest had COVID. Our entire staff was put on lockdown and requested to be tested, multiple times to ensure both our employee health and the integrity and safety of our services at Creekside. With initial tests behind us (and future-ongoing as part of our commitment to safety) and our proactive forecasting based on data, experience…and watching too many movies, Creekside is taking extreme precaution in the next several weeks of service. If things improve sooner, we’ll let you know… but for now:
Effective Immediately, Creekside will be open daily from 4pm until 8pm with Take-out, Curbside and Walk-up To Go services only. This is a return to online ordering, phone orders and walk-up outdoor ordering, with shorter hours, temporarily…until we see at least what the next few weeks brings. 4pm will still include our Walk-up order Happy Hour ordering for outdoor park seating enjoyment (currently wet and cold, but the price is right).
In extreme times, we hope you understand our decisions and take comfort in the knowledge that Creekside’s “frontline essential workers” are working hard for the community in the continued saga of our lifetime; staying safe, serving safe and providing excellence in the face of adversity.
Thank you for your continued support. With appreciation,
Pat Townsley, Janet Abrahamson and Team Creekside.
Thank you, Pat, for sharing this with all of us, so unfortunate for all (we were there on Christmas with Tony, my sister, their girls, Patrick, Luca and Dante). We had a great Christmas dinner together and had no idea you were even open. We usually celebrate with family Christmas Eve. We all said this might be our new tradition…
Anyway, thank you for your transparency, for caring for others, for improving our community, for you generosity to others and for just being a “stand up” friendly guy.
I hope 2022 brings us all health and happiness and prosperity in all we do!! Blessings to you and your family and business! Laura Stallone
Thanks, Pat, Janet and Team. We trust you to keep us safe and unhungry. Keep up the good work, and I hope you can find a profit in there somewhere to keep going forever!
Bravo for your courage to do the “right thing” and for your perseverance in staying open during the pandemic.
Doing the right thing, Pat. Thank you.
Makes perfect sense. Hope y’all stay healthy!
This is smart, thoughtful, and another way that you consistently show up as an important community member.
Pat, may you, your family, and your colleagues have a happy and healthy 2022.

Thanks for continuing to do the right thing. Stay safe and healthy and in the meantime, we will enjoy our Creekside pizza at home. See you soon!
I’m sorry you have to take these measures, but I am so glad you’re taking the safety of your great staff seriously AND we can still enjoy your wonderful pizzas, salads and other great dishes “to go!” I am 100% behind you! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
The main thing is for your place to not go away like so many other restaurants have in the last year. Also, that your staff is in good health. Your clients understand.

Thank you for being safe and smart.
Right on with the right on, Pat. Always going the extra mile to look out for your customers’ wellbeing. I wish every business did the same.
The happiest of New Years to you and the entire Creekside family.
I look forward to hanging out with the gang in mid-January! Until then, I hope you all stay happy, healthy and enjoy the new year.
