ABOUT PIZZA HAUS

In 1962 Schmidt's Place opened on Walnut Street selling doughnuts and pizza. Then, in 1970, when Schmidt Bakery moved to the new Batesville Shopping Village, the pizza portion of the business was sold to Jake McKittrick and Brent Gibson and operated under the name Jake's Pizzeria.

The business moved to our current location and into a brand new building. In earlier years, this location was home to Hellmich's Standard Oil gas station. Along with the pizza business, McKittrick and Gibson bought the pizza oven Schmidt's used for eight years. That same oven is still used today to bake every Pizza Haus pizza.

In February of 1974 the Pizza Haus opened under the ownership of Lowell & Marge Yorn and Jack & Vicki Kellerman. The Pizza Haus name (using the German spelling Haus but pronounced House), was chosen to emphasize the German heritage of Batesville.

In 1986 Lowell and Marge purchased the Kellerman half of the business. After Mr. Yorn's death in 2003, Marge managed the restaurant. In 2005, she turned over managerial duties to her son, Kirk, and his wife, Ginny. They look forward to continuing the Pizza Haus tradition of delicious food at great prices.
