As a parent, one of the questions I get asked most frequently is “Hey, what are we having for dinner?” Like my home is an all-you-can-eat buffet, and I just happen to live here.

(That last part is a joke. My family genuinely appreciates good food, and I love that about us.)

But at 6 PM on a Friday, I don’t often feel like whipping out every pot, pan, and utensil I own to create a “30-minute meal” that will take three hours to clean up.

The solution? Pizza, of course!

But not just any pizza. When my family orders a pepperoni pie, you better believe we’re getting it from Brenda’s Pizzeria.

It’s no mistake that Brenda’s wins the Best of the Lake award every year. Their pizza is unbeatable—whether fresh from the oven or leftover from the fridge. (I always over-order, and I’m never mad about it.)

Brenda’s specializes in New York-style pizza (read: massive slices), incorporating delicious local ingredients on top of their hand-tossed dough. They also serve flavor-packed appetizers, mouthwatering sandwiches, and even calzones.

And honestly? All of it is top-notch—as evidenced by their 20+ years in business.

Ordering a pie from a pizza chain may be convenient under certain circumstances, but after years of visiting Brenda’s… I simply do not find myself in those circumstances anymore.

Once you’ve tasted authentic, made-from-scratch, New York-style pizza, there’s no going back.

Plus, Brenda’s team is so friendly that picking up my order is an enjoyable experience.

So, whether you’ve spent a relaxing day at the lake or a stressful one at the office, call Brenda’s. They’ll take care of you as only pizza lovers can.

P.S. As usual, this isn’t an ad, and I wasn’t paid to say any of this. I’m just a realtor in Deep Creek Lake who loves a good pie. But like, if someone from Brenda’s is reading this, maybe we can trade marketing for pizza. Have your people call my people.
