Pizza is amazing! It is a bar, however, it is divided. One side is set up with a bar & pool tables, the other side is set up for a dinner out with video games for the kids. Great place to eat.
May want to call it in to avoid the wait.

Traveler advice
What to pack
You'll want to pack sunscreen, beach towels, bug spray.
Come prepared to enjoy your time outside and time in the water. You will want to come prepared as we are 35 minutes from the nearest Wal-Mart. Bring sunscreen to protect you from the sun and beach towels for your lounging enjoyment. Bring bug spray - the mosquitoes and other insects like the water as much as we do! You may want to bring floats for relaxing as well as life jackets.
Traveling with kids
Lifejackets Needed
The lake is deep at the dock. You will want to bring life jackets for your younger guests.
