The Pizza Shack
The Pizza Shack serves up what one well-traveled local has called “the world’s fifth-best pizza,” and he’s not far off with that ranking. Pizza Shack never skimps on the toppings and their pies, salads, entrees and extensive beverage collection have become both legend and institution among the motley North State Street collection of medical workers, Belhaven and Millsaps students, and even some downtown businessfolk.
Pizza Shack occupies a small restaurant space across from Baptist Hospital on State Street (1220 North State Street) that until now has seemed to be doomed. Locally owned by Larry, Mike, and Ryan, The Pizza Shack is known for its relaxed and friendly atmosphere and its owners’ sincere efforts to be Belhaven community leaders - whether that’s providing discounted pizza for hungry Millsaps students or featuring local bands on the wooden deck when it’s pleasant out.
The Pizza Shack also uses their wall space to feature local artists’ works, with most available for purchase. They carry Mississippi-brewed Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan on tap and their BBQ Chicken pizza is to die for. Chuck the diet for one evening, order up some cheese sticks, and take solace in the fact that new Jackson traditions are still being born in the Capital City.
