What has remained constant over the last 74 years is the company's sincere commitment to using only the highest quality ingredients while providing innovative, unique recipes and menu selections. That doesn't make mention of the high-level service mentality that delights and inspires loyalty among its strong customer and client base.

In addition to the vast selections of menu items for dine-in, carry-out, delivery or catering - pizza has always been a star since the company was founded.

Hand-rolled daily crust selections include thin, Chicago pan, whole wheat thin, stuffed and Gluten free. Only premium meats and vegetable toppings chopped up fresh in-house are used to preserve the high quality standards set decades ago.

A wide array of catering services are available, including the extremely popular Backyard BBQ Concept. Two cooks arrive at your home or other venue with charcoal grills and prepare your menu selections on-site. Skuddlebutts handles everything from set-up to clean-up, so you can enjoy time with family, friends and/or business associates.
