The PaxLair Pizza Kitchen is located just north of the Mage Tower and outdoor arena, and just east of Luigi's outdoor cafe in PaxLair City, Felucca.
 

PAXLAIR CITY, FELUCCA - PaxLair City is proud to present the opening of the new PaxLair Pizza Kitchen on Tuesday, August 21, 2007 at 10 PM ET immediately after the weekly PaxLair Statehood meeting.   The Pizza Kitchen is owned and operated by Lenora of PaxLair.

Once a chef at Luigi's Pizzeria, Lenora is using the famous and rare Luigi's recipe to make the sauce and pizza dough.  People from all around the area are talking about the pizza that made Luigi and PaxLair famous.

The original Luigi's Pizzeria burned down several months ago just west of the new Pizza Kitchen.  That area was recently reconstructed as a stage overlooking the outdoor cafe and Bells of PaxLair.

The Pizza Kitchen, located immediately north of the PaxLair Mage Tower and Outdoor Arena, also serves as Myrtle's Herbs and Potions Shop.  There is also rent-able space available for other merchants.

A PaxLair Watch Tower stands just east of the Pizza Kitchen with guards keeping an eye on people passing through the city.
