FAQ - A New chapter

Godfathers Pizza Chatham and Shady Pine Family Restaurant are both proudly owned and operated by our family. As part of our long-term plans for both businesses, Godfathers Pizza will eventually relocate to the Shady Pine location, bringing both operations together under one roof.

To begin that transition, Godfathers Pizza Chatham will move to a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday operating schedule beginning June 29, 2026. The current Godfathers location will remain open during this phase while future renovation and relocation plans continue to take shape.

This change is not a closure of Godfathers Pizza. Rather, it is the first step in combining the strengths of two local businesses that share the same ownership, values, and commitment to serving our community.
