Yahoo Sports Two new popular spots for pizza and Italian ice open sister locations. One is in Macon
Two popular foodie spots in Warner Robins just opened their second locations, including one in Macon.
One is a pizza place known for its unique name and specialty pizzas. The other is a dessert shop known for its Italian ice as well as its signature frozen treat.
The dessert shop is a franchise store owned by two sisters who graduated from Houston County High School. The takeout pizza place was started by three men in Warner Robins.
Both businesses took off by word of mouth and rave reviews on social media. Also, each is set to open a third Middle Georgia location this summer.
CowPies Pizza Co.
With its clever name and specialty pies, this new pizza place opened May 16 in a shopping strip at 3955 Arkwright Road in Macon.
Co-owners Josh Walsh, John Wright and J.P. Williams opened their first location late last year at 6001 Watson Blvd. also in a shopping strip at the corner of U.S. 41 and Watson Blvd.
Popular specialty pizzas include the cowboy with white sauce, steak, mushrooms, green peppers and onions. Another is a cheeseburger pizza with ground beef, onions, cheese and special sauce and then topped with lettuce, tomato and pickles when it comes out of the oven.
Other customer favorites include smoked wings with mango habanero or kickin’ bourbon sauces and desserts such as cowboy cookies and cheesecake brownie stromboli.
The menu is the same at the new Macon location, which has a few tables and chairs but is geared for takeout.
The next CowPies Pizza Co. is expected to open in July below retail and restaurant space at the Lofts at Houston Central at 114‐A Sutherlin Drive in Warner Robins.
Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Contact the Macon store at 478-259-1855 and the Warner Robins store at 478-333-5030.
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice
Sisters Monica and Manali Patel purchased the Middle Georgia franchise rights for this popular Italian ice dessert shop. Their newest store opened May 16 at 2945 Watson Blvd .in Warner Robins in the same shopping center as Hobby Lobby.
The dessert shop serves up three frozen and refreshing treats: Italian ice, soft-serve ice cream and a layered combination of the two called “the gelati.”
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice has more than 40 Italian Ice flavors, with 24 flavors featured daily — including seven that rotate. A few of those flavors include cotton candy, chocolate, caffe latte, mango, cherry, blueberry, sea salted caramel, coconut and scoop froggy frog (mint chocolate chip).
Their soft-serve ice cream comes in vanilla, chocolate or swirled in a cup or cone. Toppings also are available.
Popular gelati offerings include birthday cake — a layering of cake batter Italian ice, vanilla soft ice cream and rainbow sprinkles — and oreo mud pie, which is a layering of cookies & cream Italian ice, swirled ice cream and Oreo cookie crumbles. Dairy-free, vegan and sugar-free options also are available.
Their first store opened in early April in the Century Market Plaza Phase II at 810 Ga. 96, Suite 2200, in Warner Robins. A third location is expected to open soon at 1506 Sam Nunn Parkway in Perry with a fourth store planned for Macon.
Hours are noon to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and noon to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Call 478-333-6969 to reach the Watson Blvd. store and 478-359-3094 to reach the Ga. 96 store.
