to be the best: Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.

In 2012 owners DJ Moody and Ruth Helbig purchased Maddie’s Place not only as a continue homage to DJ’s beloved Aunt Maddie, but to restore a community gathering place, provide services and conveniences and make tummies happy! Aunt Maddie was a fixture at our lunch counter, and in the community and her spirit is smiling upon us as we try to bring smiles every day.

Both DJ and Ruth grew up in Prospect, and their families and friends are part of the wonderful community they serve. They believe strongly in providing a warm, friendly place to enjoy great food, lively conversation and much laughter. They also want to meet as many needs of the local community as possible, and provide a convenient and affordable option for many groceries, beer, wine, home and auto needs, as well as specialty services from propane to bait!

DJ and Ruth also own DJM34Racing, LLC and support local racing,
