Gift Tips
- Try a large Stromboli or the Stromboli-style pizza for a hearty, shareable meal — it's a longtime favorite and good for feeding a group.
- Order the bacon and cheese fries or waffle fries as a tasty starter to pair with pizza and drinks.
- Look for daily or lunch specials to get strong value; those specials are popular and stretch a gift card further.
- Save room for the nostalgic finish — guests enjoy the complimentary lollipop dessert offered at the end of the meal.
- If you prefer a lighter option, try one of the large salads; they’re known to be generous and satisfying.
