A Vision Born: Pangea Kitchen

Pangea Kitchen is more than just a restaurant—it’s a celebration of culinary diversity, global inspiration, and a passion for authentic, approachable food.

Where it all began

Pangea Kitchen was founded by local restaurateur Randy Hobson, whose 25-year career took him around the world and ignited a love for international cuisine. Inspired by the idea that food is a universal language, Hobson envisioned a place in Evansville where diners could experience the flavors of multiple continents under one roof.

Our name “Pangea” reflects this vision, referencing the ancient supercontinent and symbolizing the unity of global cultures through food.

A Menu That Unites

At Pangea Kitchen, the menu is a vibrant tapestry of culinary traditions. Guests can savor authentic Neapolitan pizzas, crafted with imported Italian ingredients and baked in a wood-fired oven, alongside bold Thai dishes that burst with aromatic spices and fresh herbs. The kitchen’s commitment to quality is evident in every dish, from hand-stretched pizza dough to house-made sauces and locally sourced produce.

Customer favorites include:

• Neapolitan pizzas with perfectly blistered crusts and inventive toppings
• Spicy Thai curries and noodle dishes, balancing heat and flavor
• Decadent gelato and desserts, made fresh daily

Food as a Universal Language

Pangea Kitchen was built on the belief that food connects people across cultures. The restaurant’s welcoming atmosphere encourages guests to explore new flavors and share dishes with friends and family. Hobson and our team are dedicated to making global comfort food accessible, focusing on “dishes of the people” that are both authentic and approachable.

Our menus across all 4 of our restaurants are built to create conversation and dialogue about food. Our ultimate goal remains consistent: Bring our community together around the table!
