- Pizzas are 12"
- Each pizza serves 1-2 people
- Choose to add a Hot Honey Bear (each 6 oz.)
Pizza Options include:
- Margherita – It may be the traditional choice, but every pizza connoisseur has an opinion on this one, and is all too ready to share it! Here’s ours – to us, it’s all about the interplay between the sauce and the crust.
- Tony Pepperoni – lots of succulent cupping pepperoni, and a little oregano to balance. Tony Pepperoni is a helluva good guy.
- Kevin McCalister – Finally Kevin gets his cheese pizza, only he had to wait a few years, get a college degree, and perhaps even a kid or too! Our cheese pizza is like a fine wine, utilizing the full effect of the “funk” provided by taleggio and the sweet heat of Benny’s Hot Honey.
- King Louie – There wasn’t any pizza in the “Jungle Book”, but there was some fire! Our King Louie brings the heat, and the sweet. This pie is a great take on a Hawaiin, and while Neapolitan traditionalists would call King Louie an unflattering you know what, the pineapple jam and speck combo really is “The Jam”.
