About us
Everyone loves a pizza, and we make ’em good.
More than pizza
Pizza is not all we do. You can also enjoy pasta, steak, BBQ spare ribs, seafood and chicken. Our friendly staff make sure every customer gets personal service and a good night out.
Pizza Pit is locally owned and operated, and we support our community. We sponsor a children’s football team and have donated catering to Camp Breakaway, to name a couple.
Sadly Henny isn't with us anymore, her son Dean has taken the reins and continues on knowing his mum is watching from above. We’re grateful to our loyal customers, some of whom have been coming since the 1970s.
