C.D. “Pat” Farnsworth opened Farnsworth’s Café in July 1931. Pat’s dream was backed only by one hundred seventy-five dollars cash, and his willingness to devote long hours, and hard work. Because of his efforts, Pat saw the café, which originally sold ice cream and confections, become a full service restaurant.

In 1953, Pat added pizza to his menu. The fresh dough pizzas, covered with special sauce were an instant success. Pat’s change in the menu changed Farnsworth’s Café into Pat’s Pizza. Over the years, Pat’s Pizza has become a favorite of the University of Maine Students. In fact it has been said that an education at the U. of M. is not complete without Pat’s Pizza.

  We welcome both small and large groups, but due to limited space, parties of 8 or more may be required to sit at adjacent tables during peak hours.
  
  We always appreciate groups of any size calling ahead to let us know when you will be coming. It is first come first serve, but having an advance notice for larger groups, will assist us in how we sit people prior to your arrival. This does not mean that a table will be ready. When you arrive, you may still have a short wait.
