VALDOSTA — If you’ve noticed the way economic development opportunities have been creeping up the roads in north Valdosta, you are not alone. The owners of Fox’s Pizza Den realized the opportunity and opted to capitalize on it before it passed.

B.J. Bond, Jennifer Bond and Gavin Braswell, owners of the Lake Park Fox’s Pizza, along with John Graham decided there was a place for their den on the 4900 block of Bemiss Road. Research showed that population in the metro Valdosta area was dense enough to support another Fox’s restaurant, so they chose a location several miles outside of the service territory of Sheldon Presser’s Fun Street store.

B.J. Bond and Graham believe that the flavor sets Fox’s apart from other pizza restaurants. The award-winning recipe for smooth sauce and original blend of cheese combine to make a mouth-pleasing pizza experience. They hear many compliments from customers who say the crust is very fresh and easy to eat.

“We hear a lot of people say it’s the best (pizza) they’ve ever had,” Graham said.

Pizza isn’t the only mouth-watering dish. Fox’s Pizza Den offers a wide selection of items in a variety of flavors, including salads, stromboli, gyros, wings, wedgies and hoagies. Deals are available almost every day, and all military personnel receive a 10 percent discount.

The owners believe that adding another Fox’s Pizza to the Valdosta area will only strengthen the name. They intend to provide quality service and 127 percent satisfaction.

“We are not afraid to give to our customers,” Graham said. “We will go out of our way to make them happy.”
