Second Street Pizza Coming to Kalispell

Whitefish restaurant to open second location at old ScottiBelli's Pizzeria off U.S. Highway 93

Second Street Pizza, a New York-style pizzeria that has become a staple in Whitefish, is opening a location in Kalispell.

Owner Dave Sheeran said the new location, called Second Street South, will open at 55 Commons Way, near the Blue Cow Carwash in the old ScottiBelli’s Pizzeria shop, which is closing. He hopes to open his doors June 4.

“It’s going to be exactly the same as the Whitefish location, same menu, same everything,” Sheeran said last week. “The only difference is that we are going to deliver from 11 to 11, open to close.”

The Whitefish location offers delivery service from 5 p.m. until close.

Second Street South joins the ranks of other eateries opening in the business-heavy corridor of U.S. Highway 93 North, serving employees at Kalispell Regional Medical Center, as well as students and staff at the Flathead Valley Community College, and a crop of burgeoning outlet stores in Kalispell’s northern commercial district.

He’ll cater to lunchtime demands and business functions, he said, and despite the change of address, the pizza will remain classic Second Street.

Sheeran hails from Queens, New York, and his authentic pizza – dually influenced by his wife Susie Sheeran’s Chicago roots – has been a hit in the resort town of Whitefish, drawing hungry patrons who return for Sheeran’s colossal pizza slices, hoagies and heaping plates of pasta.

At the new location, he expects to do more business through deliveries, and to accommodate that contingent of customers he’s launching a free app for mobile devices.

“You’ll be able to order right from your smart phone, just like that,” Sheeran said.

He’s also hiring 16 employees to cover positions at both stores, and must fill them by July 4.

“We’re busier than ever, the pizza is great, and the new location is exciting,” he said. “It’s a good move for me.”
