WELCOME TO THE HAPPY VALLEY FILLING STATION!We're a brewery, we're a pizzeriaWe're a BREWZERIAThe Happy Valley Filling Station was born from a sense of purpose. Jesse and Angela bought the property in 2019 to prevent The Dollar General from moving into Happy Valley and then thought, “now what?” They determined that the greatest need was a community gathering spot, where neighbors can come together. And what brings people together more than food and drink? So began a years-long journey to create the best pizza and beer possible, sourced from the highest quality local ingredients. The Happy Valley Filling Station is here for the community, to bring neighbors together and introduce new friends to the Valley. We hope y'all stay a while!Angela and Jesse

    Our server, George, was amazing. He gave excellent recommendations and was spot on. We had the Cuban crepe as our appetizer. I’m so glad we did!! It was amazing. Absolutely delicious and so flavorful. For our entrees we had the ramen and the ribeye. Both were delicious as well. All the the different flavors from both dishes were impressive. They definitely know what they’re doing there.
