Stavely Pizza and Pasta Family Restaurant, located at the corner of 50th Avenue and 50th Street, recently opened. The Stavely Hotel’s restaurant is the only other restaurant in town.
Restaurant owner Sahar Ammar said that she has always wanted to own a restaurant in a small town. She and her father work together to run the restaurant. They also own Two for One Pizza in High River, which is run by her brother.
“It’s always been in our blood,” Ammar said with a laugh.
Their hope is to create a friendly atmosphere and develop a good relationship with the community.
“I’ve always liked being on a first-name basis,” Ammar said. “When a customer comes in, they know they are welcome.”
The restaurant is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. or 10 p.m., depending on how busy it is.
Stavely Pizza and Pasta Family Restaurant makes its own homemade pizza sauce and dough.
“That makes us stand out from everyone else,” Ammar said.
