Located just down the road from the dealership, family-owned and -operated Special Pizza City says “nobody doughs it better,” and locals agree it’s been a great pizza spot for over 20 years. The pizza menu starts with plain cheese pie in two sizes, and from there, the options are endless. The Works has sausage, pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, peppers, and onions, or there’s a veggie option that includes broccoli and garlic. With the variety of toppings, you can invent anything you want.

They’re also known for their salads. Fresh lettuce loaded with toppings like antipasti meats and cheeses, grilled chicken or shrimp that’s perfectly seasoned, or a simple tossed salad with plenty of toppings and various dressing options. Fried appetizers like calamari, wings, or onion rings are a great way to start the meal.

Jerry’s Pizza

Known for its Margherita pie, Jerry’s Pizza has a vast menu to satisfy the tastes of anyone in your family. The base of any pizza is Jerry’s homemade white or red sauce on top of a chewy thin crust. From there, the choice is yours. A simple veggie pie comes with mushrooms, onions, broccoli, garlic, and fresh tomatoes. There’s spinach, ricotta, garlic, and white sauce pie. Meat lovers will enjoy the sausage, ham, meatball, and pepperoni combo. 

For a more adventurous pizza taste, you can try the cheesesteak with peppers, onions, and American cheese. The crispy chicken comes in two varieties: one with bacon, tomato, and ranch dressing, and the other with honey mustard and bacon. The messy pie has lettuce, tomatoes, breaded chicken, and blue cheese. You can also try a Caesar salad atop their classic dough. 

If you’re in the mood for something other than pizza, Jerry’s has hot and cold wraps, burgers, cold-cut hoagies, baked pasta, seafood pasta dishes, and over a dozen salads, including a bruschetta grilled shrimp with tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, and house dressing.
