Lost Pizza Co. History

Lost Pizza Co. – Est. 2007

What began as a dream between college roommates Brooks Roberts and Preston Lott has now grown into an iconic Mississippi Delta eatery. Their vision? A fun, funky space where friends enjoy ice-cold beer and the best pizza around. In 2007, Lost “Dog” Pizza Co. opened its doors in Indianola, MS, followed by another location in Cleveland.

Fast forward to 2011, when John Mark and Emily Elliot opened the first franchise in Tupelo, MS. Since then, our family has grown across Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Texas, and Florida! You just might see us in your area soon!
