"Located on a busy corner next to a tire shop, Pitts Stop — informally known as “the Pitts” — is a true neighborhood institution. It’s the only restaurant within a half-mile radius in a food desert of South Sacramento. The Pitts serves as a safe space where food is affordable. Owner Denise Shelton, who opened it in 1979, is known for her scratch-made biscuits, chicken-fried steak, and a variety of other dishes. Despite recent knee surgeries, Shelton continues to play a crucial role in the kitchen. The restaurant is famous for its diverse clientele and community atmosphere, earning the nickname 'United Nations of South Sacramento.'" - Illyanna Maisonet
