8 Fifty Wood-Fired Pizza Joins Middlebury's Dining Scene

Fresh ingredients, homemade sauces and wood-fired pizzas are the top three reasons why owner Mark Gyolai said everyone needs to come to the newly opened 8 Fifty Wood Fired Pizza in Middlebury.

Located at 489 Middlebury Rd., Suite 2E, the pizza place is in the same plaza as Dunkin' Donuts.

Mark and Maria Gyolai own the restaurant. Maria is responsible for many of the dishes served.

"Our specialty is the wood-fired pizza and the good Italian in-house macaronis," he said.

All pizzas are 12-inch personal size pizzas.
