Our story began with a passion for creating the perfect pizza, combining the freshest ingredients with time-honored recipes passed down through generations. Today, Chef Lizz Aquarian, who started her culinary journey in our kitchen at just 15, leads our team with the same dedication and love for the craft. Under her guidance, we've expanded our menu to include not only classic favorites but also unique and fun creations like our Chicken Alfredo and Cheeseburger pizzas, along with a variety of dessert pizzas that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

At Downtown Pizza Company, we're more than just a restaurant—we're a cornerstone of the community. Whether it's sponsoring local schools, hosting civic organizations, or providing a meeting space for neighbors, we believe in giving back to the town that has supported us for so many years. Our commitment to quality and community is reflected in everything we do, earning us numerous accolades, including the coveted title of Best Pizza in Cherokee County for 2023.

Step into our arcade, enjoy our welcoming atmosphere, and experience what makes Downtown Pizza Company a staple in Murphy. Whether you're here for a quick bite, a family outing, or a special event, we promise you'll leave with a smile.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We can't wait to serve you!
