A Jeffersontown restaurant that specializes in house-made pizza and mac 'n cheese will expand this summer with a second location inside a Louisville brewery.

Mile Wide Beer Co. announced Tuesday that Mac's Dough House will soon open a related concept within its taproom at 636 Barret Ave. in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood.

Mac's @ Mile Wide will feature Neapolitan-style pizza made in a Napoli commercial pizza oven, along with sandwiches and other items, a press release stated.

The new concept will fill a small space within Mile Wide's taproom that was initially going to be used as a secondary bar, the release stated.

"We've talked to a few people over the last two years about opening up a kitchen in that space," said Scott Shreffler, a co-founder of Mile Wide. "But when we met Megan and Tony (Lusiak) and started discussing the partnership, we knew pretty quickly that they were the ones who were going to get it done."

The Lusiaks opened Mac's Dough House at 10509 Watterson Trail in October 2018.

They join Mayan Cafe and Bandido Taqueria Mexicana in opening a new or similar concept within a brewery's taproom.

In 2017, Mayan Cafe launched a permanent food truck concept at Gravely Brewing Company. And this year, Bandido Taqueria is expected to open a second location within Falls City Brewing.

Both breweries are also located in the Phoenix Hill neighborhood, at 514 Baxter Ave. and 901 E. Liberty St., respectively.
