We know you’ve been waiting, and the time has arrived to announce the  results of the Zachary’s T-Shirt Contest! How could we narrow it down to one winner when we had such amazing designs and it was an incredibly close race? We couldn’t. This is why we’re thrilled to announce one Grand Prize Winner and three Winners!

So, without further ado, the Grand Prize winner is (drumroll please ????)…Rob Corder! ???? Our three Winners (in no particular order) are: Bianca Alvarez, Jay Firestone, and Ian Ransley.

We will print the winning designs in cycles throughout the next year or so one at a time as limited editions. Once we sell out- that’s all folks. The Grand Prize winning design will be available for sale in early March. Stay tuned to our social media accounts, website, or subscribe to our newsletter (join HERE) for the exact release date!

To help celebrate our 40^th anniversary this year (!!) and thank our communities, 50% of contest shirt profits will be donated to the Alameda County Community Food Bank and Monument Crisis Center in Concord! ☺️

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the contest and to everyone who voted! We can’t wait to get these beauties up for sale! ????

Having a Halloween Pizza Party?

We recommend these ordering tips.

ORDER & PICKUP HALF-BAKES EARLY: 

Our half-baked pizzas last 4 days in the refrigerator. Beat the crowd by ordering and picking up pizzas the days leading up to Halloween! Easy-to-follow instructions come with each order. Wondering just how easy half-baked pizzas are to finish off at home? Check out our Instagram Story. 

PICKUP EARLY HALLOWEEN DAY: If you have to pickup on Halloween, we still recommend ordering half-baked pizzas and picking them up early that Monday morning. We open at 11am at all locations. 

ORDER PIZZAS IN ADVANCE: If you are ordering fully cooked pizzas for pickup on Halloween Day, place your order now to ensure your preferred pickup time. You can order days in advance and have your pizzas delayed for Halloween (or whatever day your event is!). We anticipate a high volume of orders over Halloween weekend and some pickup times may fill up, which is why placing your order early is highly recommended! 

Please note delay orders must be placed over the phone.
