Bob’s Brick Oven in Rock Spring, Ga., is something of a curiosity. It sits right off U.S. Highway 27 in the same building as a gas station, sort of hiding in plain sight. Blink and you might miss it, especially among the sprawl, as Rock Spring has no central area – just a couple miles of random businesses intermittently scattered along the highway.
Experience has shown me on several occasions, though, that mom-and-pop-type places like this often outshine more easily accessible competitors. This belief was strengthened once again when I recently visited Bob’s after listening to a growing chorus of voices proclaim how good the eatery’s pies are.
I wholeheartedly concur. If you’re a pizza aficionado you must check this place out.
THE SPACE
When you arrive at Bob’s, the first thing you notice is an outdoor smoker and covered seating area. The eatery itself is a small, comfortable space with about eight tables and a few pieces of folk art adorning the walls.
