Located across the street from Boise State University the restaurant has developed a great reputation for Sicilian style pizzas, home style pastas, Italian wine, cold regional beers, and great prices during its 20 year history. The strength of Papa Joes is its employees who are passionate about food, wine, and helping the community.

"The Papa Joe's family is excited to be a part of the Idaho Food and Wine Festival because it brings the community together to celebrate Idaho and it's thriving local movement on Food and Wine," said Mike Grant, owner of Papa Joes. "We couldn't be happier this event benefits the Idaho Food Bank. Great local music, food, and wine helping a great local charity...what could be better than that."
