New pizza place offers homemade pizza, relaxing atmosphere

Homemade pizza, craft beer, wine, arcade video games and a relaxing atmosphere are some of the features of the new Papa Tronnio's in Ellsworth.

Mike Truttman, co-owner of Papa Tronnio's (also known as Papa T's) said they are still using the original recipes from the Papa Tronnio's that he and co-owner Tim Murphy received when they purchased the original Papa T's in Prescott 4.5 years ago.

When the owners of Papa Tronnio's in Prescott were selling the business they had had for more than 40 years, Truttman said it was the opportunity he and Murphy were looking for. Buying the existing business made start up a lot easier.

"It made life a lot easier [with] an established name," Truttman said. "Food was always good."

Living in Ellsworth for the past 15 years with his family, Truttman said he thought Ellsworth would benefit from a family friendly pizza place.

"I thought Papa T's business model would work in Ellsworth," Truttman said.

One of the family friendly features of Papa Tronnio's is the "old school" arcade games, Truttman said. These games are free to play and offer something for children and even adults to enjoy.
