Food Scene
A Slice of Life Two
A Pizzeria about two miles from the inn. Full Italian Restuarant and the option to order pizza by the slice. Highly recommend the New York White. Pepperoni with banana peppers was delicious as well. This restaurant has become our favorite pizza location. Sweet, friendly staff and very personable owner.
