Our Story
OUR FOUNDER
C.D. "Pat" Farnsworth opened Farnsworth's Cafe in Orono, Maine 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 confections, become a full service restaurant.
In 1953 Pat added pizza to his menu. The fresh dough pizza, topped
with a special sauce developed by Pat and his wife, Fran, were an instant
success. Pat's change in the menu transformed Farnsworth 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 at the
University is not complete without a Pat's Pizza.
Today, Pat's Pizza is enjoyed not only in Orono, but also in Newport,
Augusta, Auburn,Yarmouth, Sanford, Scarborough, North Windham,
Ellsworth, Lincoln, Hampden, Bethel, Presque Isle, and Sanford, Maine. All
of Pat's Pizza Restaurants offer friendly, casual and affordable dining
for the entire family.
