Village Pizza's chefs cook up more than just their signature pizza pies. When they're not tossing dough and preparing sauce, they whip up spaghetti with meatballs, rotisserie chicken, and chicken alfredo penne.

We have been serving Stokesdale, Oak Ridge and the surrounding communities for over 20 years. After the untimely death of our brother and the founder of the original Stokey’s Pizza, John Johnston, we’ve decided to open back up as Stokeys Pizza Co. in honor of John.

Papa Murphy’s serves up a tasty menu of handmade "take ‘n’ bake" pizzas created using dough, cheeses, meats, and veggies that are freshly prepared every day. After customers choose their pie, Papa Murphy's personable pizza fashioners will build the pizza in-store and then package it for customers to bake at home in the oven, in a pottery kiln, or over a pile of burning cookbooks. Customers can select one of Papa Murphy's signature pizzas or customize their pie to a more specific taste, culling from the four sauces, three crusts, and more than 20 toppings available. Watch as Papa Murphy’s pizza professionals corral the ingredients of a signature pizza such as the cowboy ($14.99 for the 16” family size), complete with pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, and black olives. Or request a Chicago-style stuffed pizza ($16.99 for the family size), packed with onions, mozzarella, four kinds of meat, and one of the most efficient public-transit systems in America. Thin-crust fans can opt for an herb chicken Mediterranean deLITE ($11.99 for a large), smothered with feta cheese, olive oil, and spinach. And veggievores can avail themselves of Papa Murphy’s gourmet vegetarian option ($15.99 for the family size), which comes saturated with a creamy garlic sauce. Side your pizza with a chicken Caesar salad ($5.99), an order of cheesy bread ($3.99), or a two-liter soda ($2.09).

Hass avocados, cilantro, and fresh lime juice are just a few ingredients diners might recognize as a chef whips up guacamole right before their eyes at Poblano's Mexican Bar & Grill. From the restaurant's grill come specialty dishes including the alambre mixto, a dish typically found in Mexico City that combines grilled steak, chicken, shrimp, and chorizo with grilled peppers, pineapples, and melted cheese. The taqueria offers up five suggestions for specialty tacos that include carne asada, pork carnitas, shrimp, sliced pork, and grilled fish. Poblano's also delivers fresh flavors via catering for special events such as luncheons, parties, or the day fifth graders win their citizenship by reciting the preamble to the Constitution.

Executive Chef Doug Triolo takes a modern approach with each dish on his menu to foster an open, contemporary environment at Graffiti’s Bistro. Medallions of pork tenderloins are stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in bacon to complement the citrus sweetness of an orange marmalade. The chefs temper the spicy kick of blackened tilapia with a Grand Marnier sauce and rub filet mignon with traditional Montreal spices. Diners get in on the experimentation by customizing gourmet burgers with eclectic toppings such as coleslaw, applewood bacon, and bermuda onions. In the bistro’s dining rooms, dark wood accents create an elegant atmosphere complemented by cabinets filled with wine bottles and a marble-plated fireplace. On the weekends, local musicians strum guitars and shatter priceless vases to the beats of Motown and contemporary rock, which can be heard on the outdoor patio as patrons dine underneath oversize umbrellas.

Within the bright, modern shop marked by a kaleidoscopic neon stripe, patrons decorate each dish of fresh frozen yogurt with a collage of eclectic toppings. The frozen treat is available in eight daily rotating flavors, and desserters can load up on layered combination of yogurts or stick to monochrome fro-yo in its original flavor. To garnish the uncharted summits of yogurt precipices, patrons explore the toppings bar, which boasts a spread of edible ornaments such as Andes mints, brownies, and fresh fruits. The staff ensures all fruit is as fresh as possible by slicing it daily and prepping it with a neon hoodie and dope sunglasses.

The family-owned New York Deli and Pastry Restaurant's ovens blaze from breakfast through dinner, toasting homemade pastries, sandwiches, and in-house Italian specialties. Drawing from 15 years of experience, chef Tino Mendez captains a crew in the kitchen as they compile meat, seafood, and vegetables into a diverse menu that regulars line up for during all meals of the day. Behind the scenes, pastry chef Jaya Bissoondutt prepares pies, cheesecakes, and brownies by hand, which add a sweet lining to drop-in meals or any catered event.
