Booked 2 times today
From their humble beginnings as teenagers in 1957, Bill & his wife Pat established their landmark pizza business in what was once a garage. Though his building was small, his ideas about what makes a successful business were not. In fact, other pizza entrepreneurs throughout the country and as far away as Aruba looked to Bill as a mentor when they were starting out. Along with the original secret recipe, Pizza Bill produced the first double decker pizza and many other innovations that have inspired several pizza places. Over the past 64 years the business grew along with the community. Bill’s is a true family restaurant run by the entire family including Bill’s daughters and grandsons. Our goal is to serve the same great pizza to you that your parents and grandparents enjoyed since 1957.

    Our first time visiting this location, and it was lovely. While we arrived early, we seated immediately. We would definitely choose a table towards the inside of the dining area next time, as where we were seated, basically at the entrance had so much incoming and outgoing traffic. So many choices in the buffet and everything we had was fresh hot and delicious. We will definitely come back for not only the brunch, but their menu looked really nice as well.

    I love that White Castle elevates its restaurant for Valentine’s Day! Table cloths, past menus, candles (electric), flowers and fun decorations throughout. We bring our grandlittles with us so their parents can have a nice Valentine’s Day dinner sans kiddoes. And the boys love that they can order off of a menu on their own. The staff is always so super friendly too!!! Thanks!!
