The Beginning of Partners II Pizza
Jim Royal moved to Peachtree City from Lakeland, Florida in 1976. After spending five years on a submarine in the Navy, he had hoped to start something new. As fate would have it, Partners II Pizza was born from an idea Jim had one day after he and his brother wanted to go to lunch in Peachtree City, quickly realizing that their dining options were very limited.
It was in that moment Jim decided to utilize the RotoFlex oven he had kept from a previous restaurant in Florida and procure the vacant Brother's men's clothing store, located at the end of the Aberdeen Village Shopping Center. Partners II Pizza (there is no Partners I) was named only days prior to opening in January of 1977, its name inspired by the bar Joe Namath owned in New York's Upper East Side called Bachelors III.
Over the years, the original 45 seat restaurant with 10 original pizza toppings has grown into a 340-seat Peachtree City landmark with over 40 available toppings and the famous Potato Pizza.
