The Pizza Man has recently undergone a major facelift to their business here in Lyndonville, adding a full sit-in bar to their once bland and unadorned shop.
The adored pizza joint has upped the ante for other local businesses and seems to be running away as the choice among places to enjoy a quality beer or meal.
“I think it’s a really, really good addition to Lyndonville,” said Dan Haycook, a Lyndon State Senior. “It’s really awesome to go to a place to sit an have a drink rather than being in a club atmosphere. You can sit and have a beer for the game and talk to friends without loud music blasting in your ear.”
The bar showcases five flat screen televisions, eight beers on tap, and if beer is not your
favorite…liquor.
The feel of The Pizza Man is not that of any other bar in Lyndonville. It has two major differences between all of its competitors. It has a more sports-bar-feel, that allows people to get all the benefits of a bar, but also a place to get food and watch a game without people and loud music polluting the airwaves.
It also has a more extensive selection of beverage possibilities while still serving a complete menu. This is completely different than any other pizza place in town. Patrons can have the major selection of drinks like the “club” atmosphere bars, but also the quiet feel of the other pizza places. This bar has the perfect amount of bar to restaurant ratio.
The bar will remain open after the restaurant closes, staying open until 11PM on weekdays and midnight on weekends. People can still get food after the restaurant closes, but the menu will be limited.
Lyndon Student Corey Pronto likes the additions made at The Pizza Man. “I think it’s sick. It’s going to bring in a lot more business for them. It creates an environment for the younger and older crowds alike.”
Not only has The Pizza Man added a bar to their business, but also they are offering 25-cent wing nights every Monday, and are switching from counter order to full waiter service for their dining patrons.
Employee Courtney Taber-Meckes likes the additions made, “It’s great. It will bring in a lot of extra revenue for the business, and the employees. With all the promotions available he [Shane Switser, owner] is doing something right.”
