The pizza here is unbelievably good, highly recomended! It is clearly made with real care. They also carry a bunch of cool products you don’t usually find anywhere other places. The staff is incredibly kind, including the two owners: they’re all friendly, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about what they do, and it shows in every part of the experience.

Absolutely loved this place! I can't believe it took me so long to find it. I got the Mediterranean Veggie on a soft, yummy sub roll that was absolutely filled with hummus, feta, fresh veggies, and Kalmata olives. I had them add some Provolone cheese and it was one of the best sandwiches I had in a long time. While I waited for my sandwich to be made in the deli, I wandered around the shop checking out the quality jewelry, cards by Alexis Burbank, and wooden items created by local artists…

Great little country store with many local goods (maple syrup, jams, candies) in addition to beer and general food goods (fresh baked muffins and donuts). They have great pizza as well. We tried 4 different ones and they were all great. Of note: the pizza shop gets busy on Friday night, so call ahead to order. You'll be given a time to pick up, which may be 1 hour+. If you plan ahead, no worries at all. Great store and pizza joint, will be back!

Love CLP! It makes me so happy to have a great little pizza shop close to home— I never wanna drive all the way out to Augusta, and most of the pizza out that way sucks anyway. Great selection of toppings here (cupping pepperoni! spicy maple drizzle!) plus plenty of awesome local products in the store, doesn’t get much better than that.

What a great store and deli! We went for pizza and subs and took the time to wander around and look at the various locally produced products in the store. The staff was very friendly and the food was awesome! We will absolutely be back and it’s now my favorite place to get pizza!
