| - What a great new spot. Odd location, as you can throw a rock and hit three other pizza places. Follow your GPS, especially at night, as this place sits back off the road and the sign out front is not lit. Parking is on the right side of the building.
We tried this spot on a Sunday evening when we just couldn't stand another chain pizza and heard this spot opened up. The "pies" are delicious, but let me start front the beginning.
After calling in our order for pick up (pepperoni & mushrooms w/ bacon on half) I circled the block a couple times not really trusting my GPS that this big dark building with one porch light and no signs could be where my pizza was. I parked and gave it a try. Sure enough, once about 10 ft from the door, I could make out the unlit sign. I walked in to many booths and a sign that stated to "seat yourself." I wasn't eating there so I began to wander around looking for the counter/checkout. I found a small register at the end of a counter oddly forcing the line next to the patrons sitting at their booths. While I waited, a few customers came in the side door "looking for some place called Shelly's Pies." I felt better that I was not the only lost soul. As I waited for my turn in line, I wondered what my total would be as my wife saw the menu and no total was discussed when she placed the order. Once helped, the total for a "large" 2.5 topping pizza was $22! I have to admit I was shocked to hear anything over 20 and was hoping for less... But wait! Please read on! I still had not actually seen my pizza... I was handed a pizza on flimsy cardboard wrapped and stapled in butcher paper. Not a welcome sit considering the distance back to my vehicle. You can imagine my thoughts once back in my car... 'This better be the best pizza I've ever had' and 'I know you're new, but too cheap for a real pizza box?'
NOW, once I got home and my wife unwrapped the pizza... All became clear. They can't use a pizza box because it's too enormous! It would never fit in any pizza box I have ever seen. And the price was totally fair considering there was at least a pound of pepperoni on this pizza. The mushrooms where also plenty and the bacon was so sense you could barely see the other toppings below! This pizza would have easily fed 6-8 adults, maybe more!
All in all, we plan to return, and often. Next time for a "small" pizza. As a new business, they will work out the minor things quickly, like signage, parking, checkout placement, and the old patrons of the previous business at that location (VFW) coming in to "check it out" & "shoot the breeze."
Well done Shelly & team. Keep up the good work.
