This unassuming little food truck won best pizza in southern Oregon. It's that good. Great for take-out, or they have picnic tables on site. Not just pizza, though: they have some amazing sandwiches, and a variety of fire roasted chicken wings. This is a family run affair. There's a second location serving New York style pizza next to the Weekend Beer brewhouse. check them both out

The trailhead for the Whiskey Creek Cabin trail is at the Grave Creek boat launch on the Rogue River.
The hike to Whisky Creek cabin follows a portion of the Rogue River Trail, a well hiked trail often used by anglers to access the river for salmon and steelhead fishing. This is part of the scenic Rogue River corridor with tree covered slopes and many views of the river. The distance from the parking area to the historic cabin is about three miles of moderately strenuous hiking.
