New Owners, Same Great Pizza
Loven Oven’s story began in 1977, when a passionate cook—affectionately known as “Momma Pizza”—began making pizzas for friends and family from her own kitchen. Her pies quickly became legendary, and the growing demand for her mouthwatering creations led her to open Loven Oven, turning her dream into a local staple in Hessville, Indiana.
The craftsmanship had been passed down through generations, and in 1994, Lowell’s finest independent pizzeria was opened by “Da Pizza Mon” Jack Loggins. For almost five decades now, the same recipe has been intact and continues to grow in popularity. Using only the freshest ingredients and a dedication to quality, the end result is truly something to behold.
Following Jack Loggins retirement in 2022 the torch was passed to John and Lea Butor. We are incredibly honored to continue the legacy they built with love and hard work. While we bring fresh ideas to enhance the experience, our commitment to serving you the same quality pizza that made Loven Oven a cherished small town favorite remains unwavering. We’re excited to build upon their foundation, stay true to their values, and keep serving our community the best pizza we can.
Here’s to you, “Momma Pizza” and “Da Pizza Mon”—we promise to keep making them just like you did, with heart, soul, and a touch of love in every pie.
