Patio Pantry reopens at Loma Linda Market

Sheila Luistro, team leader, dining services, takes a freshly baked pizza from the Patio Pantry's new speed oven while coworker Jojo Palma looks on.

The Patio Pantry has reopened with new meal options that include 8-inch pizzas and a Mexican food bar offering burritos, tacos and tostadas. Sub sandwiches and grab-and-go items are also available.

The Patio Pantry is located next to Loma Linda Market, 24954 Prospect St. in Loma Linda, and is open Monday to Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Eight-inch pizzas are made to order and are prepared bubbly hot in two minutes. According to Greg Sullivan, director, LLU food services, the dining experience will change even more as changes in décor are implemented.

While Patio Pantry is a convenient option for faculty, students and staff, “We are determined to build on Patio Pantry’s reputation as a destination eatery,” said Ryan Villalobos, manager, food services.

News that Patio Pantry has reopened should please one such diner, Christina P, from Abbotsford, Canada. Christina, who gave the Pantry a perfect five-star Yelp rating, left this review: “I LOVE Patio Pantry…they are currently closed for renovations; PLEASE OPEN, PATIO PANTRY!!!!!”
