Horseshoe Bend is tucked deep in the Ozark hills, far from any food scene. Papa Dick's planted itself at Crown Point Resort and built something people drive well out of their way to find.

Beyond pizza: calzones, pasta, burgers, patty melts, and the legendary fried mushrooms regulars insist you order first. A full neighborhood spot that happens to make great pizza.
