Kevin Gorham picked Dec. 26, 2007, to open the third Pizza Cottage in Licking County, on Mount Vernon Road in Newark. “It’s an extremely busy day in the pizza business anyway,” he says.
His parents started the first Pizza Cottage in Carroll in 1972, and Kevin was part of the family business from the beginning. He was 12 years old and stood on a case of pizza sauce, adding toppings before his dad put the pies in the oven.
Newark was a good place to expand. The new shop is far enough from the other restaurants in Buckeye Lake and Lancaster that it won’t draw business away and is in a high-traffic area that is growing, says Gorham, who is the managing partner.
Gorham says he’s been “extremely happy” with the volume of business on Mount Vernon Road, which is cranking out about 5,500 pizzas a week.
The Pizza Cottage trademarks are quality, fresh toppings, homemade dough crafted every day at each location and a thin crust. For more information, menus and directions, go to www.pizza-cottage.com.
