About Mel's Pizza
Pizza is the default when nobody wants to cook, and in a town where the alternatives sit some distance down the highway, that counts for more than it might in a city. Mel's Pizza covers that ground in Enderby.
Ordering from a small town pizza kitchen goes more smoothly with a few things settled up front. Delivery is not a given in a rural area, and where it does run there are boundaries: a house out along the valley roads may fall outside them or carry a minimum order, which is worth confirming on the first call. Friday and Saturday evenings are the crunch in this trade, and a pie ordered an hour ahead beats one ordered into the middle of the rush. Larger orders, for a work crew, a team or a hall full of people, generally need notice, and questions about crust options, dietary needs and pickup times are all easier answered before the oven is full.
The town sits on the Shuswap River between Vernon and Salmon Arm, with a compact downtown a block from the water and campgrounds and cabins scattered east toward Mabel Lake. Summer brings a steady stream of paddlers, anglers and campers, plenty of whom would rather carry a box back to a site than cook over a fire, and winter evenings bring the same instinct indoors. Either way, a call is the fastest route from hungry to fed, and it settles what the kitchen can get out the door and when.
