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.

Had a lovely catch up with a very good friend over delicious food. Had the artichoke, the lamb, and the oxtail and pesto pastas. Everything was wonderful.

Valentines night dinner: 645 reservations: the place was packed and at least 15 crazed patrons milling about the front area like a herd of cattle! The young anxious hostess told us it was gonna be awhile. I made my move to the crowded bar and there I saw it…a couple was paying a tab and putting coats on. I pounced on the young couple within seconds securing bar seats. I flagged my wife over and we took our seats at the bar. The AMAZING bartender said “its gonna be alright, im gonna take care of you now”.
