Delicious Pizza, Drafts, and More!!

C. D. "Pat" Farnsworth (1909 - 2003) C.D. "Pat" Farnsworth opened Farnsworth's Cafe in July 1931. Pat's dream was backed by $175.00, long hours and hard work. Because of his efforts, Pat saw the cafe, which originally sold ice cream and confection, become a full service restaurant. In 1953, Pat put pizza on his menu. The fresh dough pizzas covered with a special sauce developed by Pat and his wife Fran, were an instant success. Pat's change in the menu changed Farnsworth's Cafe into Pat's Pizza. Over the years Pat's Pizza has become a favorite of University of Maine students. In fact, it has been said that an education of U of M is not complete without Pat's Pizza. Today Pat's Pizza is enjoyed not only in Orono, but also in many locations throughout the State of Maine. All of Pat's Pizza restaurants offer friendly, casual and affordable dining for the entire family. We hope you enjoy your visit and come back to see us often.
