No matter if you are a big fan of pizza, resident of Auburn CA, or someone who happened to stumble upon this place when passing through, you most likely are familiar with Old Town Pizza! Nestled in the heart of Placer County, Old Town Pizza was established in 1999. This vintage charming pizza restaurant has truly become an iconic establishment in the Auburn CA area and in other parts of Placer County CA.

Just a week ago, Paul Galushkin of Eastok Realty had the privilege to sit down with the man behind the success of OTP, Reese Browning, to hear his story. Reese along with his parents Ed and Pat Browning purchased Old Town Pizza in 2002 when it was just a small pizza shop located in the old town Auburn across the street from the well known gourmet coffee shop Pour Choice. Then, in 2004 Old Town Pizza expanded into Lincoln CA and opened up in July of 2004. As the organization grew and became highly popular, Reese decided it was time to open in Roseville, CA. In 2015, Old Town Pizza opened in Roseville. Then in 2019 when they outgrew their original Lincoln space, they moved to 599 Lincoln BLVD in September of 2019 and that is where they introduced Slice Beer, a newly founded Brewery. But the one location that is currently the HOT SPOT in Auburn CA, is the new Old Town Pizza location on 510 High st which opened up in 2022.
As you look through the timeline and into the OTP organization, you will notice quickly that to achieve this level of success and community impact, there has to be someone leading the movement, and this man is Reese Browning who has created something special. In just 2 decades he was able to develop a culture of greatness, attracting some of the best people who are still part of OTP and their contribution is obvious. Old Town Pizza is not just a pizza shop, but it is a community of empowered individuals who love hospitality and serving their community. We can tell that the future looks bright at OTP and we cannot wait to see what they will do next. We hope you enjoy conversation, and if you do, please share and follow.
