Great little pizza joint off the road. They have been there many years and it shows in the quality of their service and the great food taste!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Robin Kirk-Hotz
Really neat little pizza place. Service was good. Small seating area. Pizza was tasty. Great place for a small town.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Collin MacQuarrie
What a gem! Proudly serving the area for more than 30 years, Carolyn’s Country Pizzaria serves more than just great pizza! Although it’s not the easiest place to get to it’s definitely worth the drive. If you’re a fan of Turoni’s or Una Pizza you’ll enjoy Carolyn’s pizza as well, if not more. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the warm ambiance, neat decor, and friendly service given by the owner Carolyn, who was quite nice to get to know. Looking forward to the next visit!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Jeremy Whetstone
Really nice place, the pizza and bread sticks are good and the staff is quick. There is a salad bar. There are two dining areas that have their own atmosphere one is smaller and has only booths and the other is a large dining area with really big windows and a great view of the woods.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jeff Mendel
Fantastic place! We go there every Friday, and never disappointed. It is located near Tennyson Indiana. The food is amazing and always top notch. We will always be a satisfied customer and look forward to come every weekend in the future!
