NEW LEXINGTON
The Pizza Place
So much to love at The Pizza Place where you’ll find pizza piled with premium provolone cheese and lots of topping choices – it’s delicious with a little kick of spice to the sauce and old world style pepperoni (the kind that curls up)! The Pizza Place is filled with movie memorabilia from the Robert Redford movie Brubaker – filmed in and around New Lex – including the pink neon Pinky’s sign that originally hung outside in the 80s.

Specialty pizzas include a Seafood Supreme, Smoked Chicken Pesto, Tex Mex featuring their smoked brisket, Garlic Shrimp and the BLT.
