I recently checked in with Village Inn Pizza Parlor after some concerned citizens noticed the lack of signage on their façade. I’m happy to report to the Billings community that they are open and everything is in order. Their temporary sign keeps getting blown onto the roof by the recent heavy winds.
“The current sign on the building is a temporary solution,” explained part-owner Brittany Jorgenson-Smith. “We are waiting on permitting, so it’s a waiting game.”
A permanent sign featuring the iconic big red metal PIZZA letters from the original building’s A-frame roof is being planned for their new façade. Jorgenson-Smith isn’t certain about the exact design of the sign yet, but assures that the big red letters will be easily recognizable.

“We are incredibly grateful for the community’s support. It’s been a fantastic summer for us,” Jorgenson-Smith expressed.

For those waiting for a good time to visit, Jorgenson-Smith mentioned that the initial excitement and long wait times have subsided since their opening.
“We appreciate the enthusiastic support from everyone. The initial chaos with long waits has improved, thanks to everyone’s patience and continued patronage. We can’t thank everyone enough.”
The Village Inn lunch special: a personal, 2-topping pizza, and a trip to the salad bar.
