Open face hot sandwiches cost $6.50 for the roast beef au jus, or $6.95 for the roast beef or turkey, and include a side of fries, onion rings, or mashed potatoes and gravy. Prices for grilled items range between $4.25 and $6.50. Cheeseburgers, fish burger on a roll, hot dogs with chili or chili and cheese, and a grilled cheese sandwich that comes with options of bacon or tomato are served up hot from the grill with fries, curly fries, or onion rings. Mr Kayfusâs favorite item on the menu is an Angus beef burger, one of several items now available from the grill. Appetizers are priced from $2.50 to $7.95. Chicken or Buffalo fingers and fried calamari have been popular with customers, said Mr Kayfus, as have been the fried zucchini sticks and bruschetta. While waiting for the main course, diners can indulge in appetizers like the phat basket â a combination of jalapeño poppers, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and garlic knots. Sit down diners kick off the meal with complementary garlic knots, pretzel-like bits of fried dough with garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese. A 30-minute wait and $8.50 is all it takes to sink your teeth into one of these trademark breads.ĭinner entrees include eggplant parmesan, fish and chips, ravioli with meatballs, and fettuccine Alfredo, and all of the dinners include salad or soup and a 6-inch garlic bread. Stuffed breads filled with broccoli, chicken, chili, ham, pepperoni, sausage, or spinach and made from the same homemade dough that forms the base for JKâs pizzas, are made to order. As the name of the restaurant implies, there is far more than just pizza available to hungry patrons, though. Pizza is also available by the slice for $2 or $2.50. Sicilian pizza, with an extra thick crust, costs $14.25 to $16.25, depending on the toppings. White âpiesâ include chicken Florentine, Margarita, shrimp scampi, and clams casino, as well as the brand new chicken Alfredo pizza. The menu has been expanded to include specialty pizzas such as the popular BBQ chicken, taco, and the meat lovers, priced from $9.50 to $19.50, and available in 10-, 14-, and 18-inch sizes. A third child is due to Mr Kayfus, a Newtown resident, and his wife, Kristen, in late June. All of the sauces, and pasta and potato salads, are made on premises, said Mr Kayfus.Īlong with the rest of the kitchen staff, a peek in the kitchen might reveal Mr Kayfusâ two children, Savannah and Nic, working side-by-side with their dad when they are visiting. JKâs is the first foray into the restaurant business for Mr Kayfus, who has perfected the recipes for the chili, sauces, and entrees at home over the years. Mr Kayfus, who heads the kitchen staff, many of whom are former South Main Pizza employees, is the owner/operator of Bus 3 for the Newtown School System. It is not just the décor that might ring a bell with customers. During the 2007 demolition of the banquet hall just down the street, a South Main Pizza employee salvaged the bits of Newtown history, and Mr Kayfus has used them in the renovation. If the sconces and mirrors on the walls are reminiscent of somewhere you have been before, think Fireside Inn.
New chairs, glass tabletops protecting white tablecloths, new carpeting, and a fresh coat of deep green and cream paint on the walls brighten the room. Hoping to draw a larger eat-in crowd, Mr Kayfus, with the help of friends and family, has created a welcoming dining area. Under the ownership of Jeffrey Kayfus (JK) since March 1, the small eatery that formerly housed South Main Pizza has taken on a new look. The rich scent of rising yeasted dough and simmering sauces greets patrons that step through the door at JKâs Pizza And More at 150 South Main Street.
