Don Beimel has owned Don’s Pizza since 1994. His pizza recipe comes from his grandmother. As soon as he opened he recognized his responsibility to the community.

“We’ve been in business for 23 years. It is nice for our business to give back to the community,” Beimel said. “We help out the kids in St. Marys and Elk County.”

Don supplies pizzas to the winners of the weekly St. Marys recreation basketball tournament.  He’s been helping to continue the 45 year tradition of the Friday Night games.

Some nights he is serving up to 20 teams.
