Can you get pizza delivered in Macon during Hurricane Helene? Many stores open, for now.
Hurricane Helene is gaining speed as it continues to aim for Florida’s Big Bend region and the Peach State, expected to bring fierce wind and catastrophic damage late Thursday, news experts say.
Some Macon businesses, including local pizza joints, have already announced closures for the remaining week in anticipation of the severe weather. It is still possible to enjoy a delivered pie in the area, but the window to order is closing quickly.
While local pizza restaurants are closely monitoring the weather to see if store hours will change, here is a list of locations to order from:
