Junior’s Pizza, located along Georgia Avenue in Summerhill, began as a childhood dream for co-owner Alex Aton. That childhood dream eventually propelled Aton and wife and business partner Jennifer into the pizza-making business, first as a mobile delivery service and now as their first restaurant. Junior’s serves New York-inspired, thin crust pies and slices. Expect thin crust pizzas like “cup and char” pepperoni, white, and vegan, Sicilian-style deep dish pies, calzones, and salads here.

There’s also a game room for playing shuffleboard and darts and a 120-seat patio near the smokehouse.
