Our Story

At Gulf Coast Pizza, it all started with two friends, a whiskey barrel, and a conversation about what was next in life.
Back in their hometown in Kentucky, they spent countless nights talking about family, hard work, good food, and the kind of place they always wished existed — somewhere relaxed, welcoming, and built around community. Sitting around that old whiskey barrel, the idea for Gulf Coast Pizza was born.
The vision was simple: bring a little hometown hospitality to the Gulf Coast.
Not a big chain. Not a rushed experience. Just a laid-back neighborhood pizza place near the beach where locals, families, travelers, and friends could gather over great pizza, cold drinks, and good conversation.
That vision eventually led them south to Lillian, Alabama — a community that felt like the perfect fit. With its slower pace, friendly people, and coastal charm, Lillian reminded them of the values they grew up with: treat people right, serve quality food, and create a place where everyone feels at home.
Today, Gulf Coast Pizza is built on those same roots. From our hand-crafted pizzas and fresh ingredients to the welcoming atmosphere inside our restaurant, everything we do is about creating a place people want to come back to again and again.
Whether you’re stopping in after a day on the water, grabbing dinner with family, or becoming one of our regulars, we’re proud to serve you a slice of the hometown feeling that started around a whiskey barrel in Kentucky.
