to order. You can have it your own way— custom-built. We also create our own sauces, and we make them fresh daily. The Pizza Factory provides the one-and-only Factory ambience while dining in our comfortable atmosphere,” Randall explained.

The Pizza Factory St. George, located in the historic Ancestor Square, has become one of the most well-known tourist stops in southern Utah over the past forty-four years. “We have customers who say they plan much of their vacation around coming to The Pizza Factory when they come to town,” stated Bill Randall, founder and owner of The Pizza Factory in St. George.

The idea for The Pizza Factory originated during the early 70s when a group of friends travelled to southern Utah for a ski vacation. Finding there wasn’t a pizza parlor in the area, they declared that “the need created an opportunity.” Subsequently, the first Pizza Factory opened its doors in Cedar City, Utah, in 1974. Through the years, the menu offerings have been refined to now include Chicago-style deep-dish pizzas, specialty pizzas, sandwiches, calzones, a fresh salad bar, and deluxe desserts, including custombuilt cookies, smoothies, and more.

After buying out some of the original owners, Bill Randall and Bill Kringlen opened up shop in St. George, Utah, on August 20, 1979. “We’re here because we love southern Utah and the people,” Randall stated. “We have a personal involvement with the community and want to continue providing a great place and environment where people can come and enjoy lunch and dinner.”

The Pizza Factory provides its customers with an enjoyable dining experience by making its pizza with only the finest ingredients and toppings possible. “Our emphasis has always been on quality,” Randall continued. “That’s what our customers like, and I guess that’s why we are still around after all these years.”

Menu choices are unlimited with a myriad of sauces and topping combinations from which to choose. The Pizza Factory offers nine made-to-order specialty pizzas in combination with the numerous sauces and toppings available. “Everything is done

In 1994, they established The Pasta Factory, a restaurant that allows its customers to create their own signature pasta dishes or to pick one of the many freshly made entrees or salads on the menu. With eight made-to-order specialty entrees in addition to fourteen different types of pastas and seven varieties of sauces and six selections of toppings, your meal will be the ultimate dining experience. The Pasta Factory provides a comfortable, European-style atmosphere while dining inside, or you can opt to dine outside underneath the shade of a canopy. Over the years, two more Pizza Factory locations have been added, one at Pineview Plaza and one on the corner of Dixie Drive and Sunset Boulevard. These locations offer a combination of the Pizza Factory’s signature, custom-built pizzas as well as their create-your-own pasta dishes. They provide dine-in, take out, and drive-through. The Pineview location also provides door-todoor delivery service.

Starting on a path toward healthy habits is often easier than maintaining them long term, but you can build healthy habits that stick by working small, positive steps into your daily life.

In fact, healthy habits are the first suggested treatment strategy for people whose blood pressure and cholesterol levels are creeping higher than normal, according to an American Heart Association scientific statement.

“The current guidelines for managing high blood pressure and cholesterol recognize that otherwise healthy individuals with mildly or moderately elevated levels of these cardiovascular risk factors should actively attempt to reduce these risks, and increasing physical activity is a great place to start,” said Bethany Barone Gibbs, Ph.D., chair of the statement writing group and chair of the department of epidemiology and biostatistics at West Virginia University School of Public Health.

These six ideas from the American Heart Association’s Healthy for Good Habit Coach can help.

Bust Common Habit-Building Myths

You may be surprised to learn the truth about creating and sticking to healthy habits. One myth is that getting healthy means doing things you don’t like. Research shows positive emotions make habits stick, so set your intentions on something you enjoy. Another misconception is that big results require big changes, which may lead to overly ambitious habits. However, the simpler the routine is, the more likely it is to become a habit.

Work with Your “Brain Loops”

Your brain creates “loops” for habits made up of three things: a cue, a routine, and a reward. Each time the loop is repeated, it becomes more routine and may become automatic. Knowing this, you can design cues for developing new, healthy habits,
