TOWN CLOCK INN
TOWN CLOCK INN. The Town Clock Inn, a familiar Dubuque pizza restaurant, opened for business in 1970, and remained owned by the same family for three generations. On April 29, 2021 the closure of the restaurant was announced. A victim of the PANDEMIC, the business was too large for Irene Nelson and her co-owner husband who tried to run the business alone due to a lack of staffing.
On May 21, 2021 the announcement was made that the pizzeria was reopening at the site of the Junction 21 restaurant in Peosta. (1)
The 1972 Dubuque City Directory listed 800 Main.
The 1974 through 1989 Dubuque City Directory listed 799 Main.
