Milligan’s Pizza opened on Nov. 2 and according to owner Costa Koubis, aka “Gus,” business has been good. 

MIlligan’s Pizza is a small, privately owned pizza shop located at 1436 Milligan Hwy, Johnson City, TN where the Hungry Wolf Cafe used to be. 

During their first week they have already seen quite a few Milligan University students and faculty members drop by according to Koubis. The school’s basketball team even stopped in for a few pizzas recently.

The restaurant has a very relaxing atmosphere. Customers are greeted by the front desk and views of the dessert cabinet and kitchen. On the cabinet sits a Milligan 150th anniversary book.

Inside there are booths and small or large tables for people to dine in at. The small tables fit four and the larger tables fit eight. The tables have a rustic wood look to them and the chairs are quite comfortable. 

Koubis said that he wants to fill the back wall with Milligan posters, pictures, banners and other Milligan items to drive home the idea that they are there to serve the Milligan community.

They offer food at a fair price for college students as well. Before tax, none of their burgers, wraps or hoagies cost more than nine dollars. You can also get a 14 inch two topping pizza for $12. 

Currently Milligan’s Pizza is just offering dine in and carry out. Koubis said that he wants to make sure the restaurant is a little more well established before he moves into delivery

Milligan’s Pizza’s hours are currently 11-9 Monday through Saturday. Their number is (423)-202-7696 for more questions or carry out.
