Although the name says "Pizza Factory" on the sign, this is a terrific family style restaurant that serves up lots more than incredible Italian pies. All the ingredients are fresh. We make our own dough from scratch daily, plus we grate only 100% mozzarella cheese for our pizzas and use fresh local vegetables which are sliced and prepared in our kitchen. Traditional pizza lovers can order pepperoni, sausage and cheese, but if you want a gourmet pizza, start off by selecting one of 5 sauces, tomato basil, Alfredo, pesto, olive oil & garlic or ranch garlic and top it with any of over 45 toppings. We have a complete salad bar that offers 18 different ingredients, including fruit. If you want something other than pizza you might try breadsticks, or a pizza bread, calzones, spaghetti and meatballs, meat or cheese ravioli, and lasagne. Hot or cold Deli and Super Sandwiches are also made fresh to your order. Sandwich choices include submarine, BBQ chicken, sausage, meatballs and of course turkey, pastrami, roast beef and more.
