BEMIDJI -- Keith Andersen beams with pride when he talks about how his sons and grandchildren have kept the family’s pizza business cooking. It was 40 years ago this month when Keith bought a former gas station on Bemidji’s south side and started Keith’s Pizza.
Sons Scott and Bill took over in 1996, added a second location in 1999, and have brought their four children on board to continue the Andersen tradition.
