Celebrating 16 Years of Deano's!

In Dublin, Georgia, every celebration comes with good company and even better food, and this one’s no exception.

Downtown favorite Deano’s Italian is turning sweet 16, and owners Rob and Jen Shaffer are marking the milestone the only way they know how: with great taste and a whole lot of heart.

For sixteen years, Deano’s has been serving up hand-crafted Italian fare in their beautifully restored space, anchored by Georgia’s only imported wood-burning pizza oven straight from Italy. From wood-fired pizzas and that legendary horseradish-crusted salmon to the fan-favorite bruschetta burger, every dish shows the care, creativity, and community that’s put Deano’s on the map.

Recognized by USA Today as the Best Pizzeria in Georgia and spotlighted by Cooking with Paula Deen as a Top Pizza Hot Spot, Deano’s has become a true Dublin staple.

But what really sets Deano’s apart is its heart for the community. Through ongoing support of local school athletics and civic groups, along with hosting fundraisers throughout the year, Jen and Rob have made giving back just as important as what’s on the menu.

Join Rob and Jen this week as they celebrate sixteen flavorful years right in the heart of historic Downtown Dublin. Your table’s waiting.
