Famous Brick Oven Pizzeria

Their name says Pizzeria, but they are so much more that! Family owned and operated since 1988, they are definitely famous for excellent food, a homey setting and family friendly entertainment.

So, the pizza is delicious and that handcrafted crust… heavenly! Choose one of their 25 Specialty Pizzas or create your own from a selection of over 40 fresh ingredients. Or, maybe get a pizza to go (thinking midnight snack) but stay and dine on one of their tasty pastas, oven baked sandwiches or Jimbo’s Calzones. Then there’s JohnBoy’s Wings, Salads and Sides that complete the menu… for adults. Kids have their own menu options and there’s even personal, gluten free pizzas available. They offer the largest selection of beer in the mountain, wine, margaritas and Full-Bar. Don’t forget to leave some room for the Espresso Bar and dessert!

Let’s talk entertainment, there’s the Air Hockey table, the Arcade, the large screen TVs, Mini-Golf, and Summer’s Family Fun Series – featuring live music concerts, a bounce house and outdoor movies. Choose between their pet friendly outdoor sitting in one of their family-style picnic tables or dine indoors and browse through their Gallery of Artistic Plates created by the patrons. To become a part of their story, just ask to make one.

Like we said, they call themselves Famous Brick Oven Pizzeria, we would name them Famous Brick Oven Pizzeria Bar Café Bakery Arcade Entertainment Complex… Might be a bit too long.
