Tre Pizza opened on Sept 6, 2024, and has continued to improve. Owners, Todd Riggs and Ronnie Atkins found the business location and thought it would be perfect for what they wanted to do. Located on the corner of 259 and 31W, also known as the Crossroads, it has a good location and a lot of traffic that passes by. Pizza, wings, paninis, bread sticks and desserts are on the menu. Todd said the community for the most part has been welcoming, but there have been a few who do not like some of the changes.

When Todd saw a child almost get run over by a vehicle in his parking lot, he decided not to chance anyone’s life anymore. He quickly decided he would close the parking lot to stop people from cutting through and not having to stop at the stop sign.

The next problem he had was he wanted to protect his investment in his business, so he stopped people from loitering. He understands that for many years people would use the property to switch off kids or meet up innocently but there have been others who used the property for illicit reasons. He just wants to keep everything safe for everyone and he is not afraid to tell people to move along, just like anyone from the county would do.

In the short time since it has opened Tre Pizza has had some big improvements. First the menu has expanded. Some of the things were ideas Todd had already but others have come from customers’ requests. Wings were added with a variety of different finishing sauces that can meet everyone’s palette. If you are table of one, try one of their tasty and hot paninis and top off any meal with a mouth-watering dessert. You have a choice of Colossal Cookie or Iced Dessert Pizza, who wouldn’t like to try a sweet apple pie pizza?

Along with the menu items they now have an inside seating area.  This is probably their biggest improvement.  Todd said he didn’t want to crowd the seating area, so he chose to go with tables around the edge with plenty of room to move around in between. There are two big TV’s to be able to watch family friendly shows or sports while you enjoy your meal.

So, if you haven’t tried it yet make the short trip and fill your belly with some really good pizza, and in case you are wondering the prices are about the same as anywhere else you can go. You can call ahead so you don’t have to wait too.
