No Pizza Mind Trivia January 1st

Since we’ll be closed on January 1st, that sadly means there will be no Pizza Mind Trivia that night. However, Robert will be back in action and ready to delight you with riveting questions and his delightful personality on January 15th! Same time (6:30pm), same place (Zachary’s Grand Lake), same great prizes ($50 Zachary’s Gift Certificate for 1st Place!), and the same delicious pizza. See you then 😉

Our Holiday Hours

We’ll be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Eve. Additionally, we’ll be closing early at 8:30pm at all locations on New Year’s Eve. If you’re hoping for celebratory (or recovery 😉) pizza, be sure to order and pickup half-baked pizzas the days leading up to the holidays to finish baking at home. As a reminder, half-baked pizzas last up to 4 days in the refrigerator, which means you can pick them up days in advance and skip the last minute crowds.

Closed Thanksgiving Day- Place Your Half-Baked Orders Now

All locations will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. But what about our Thanksgiving pizza party, you ask? Half-bakes, we say.

If pizza is on your Thanksgiving menu (be it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a midday snack 😉), make sure you order half-baked pizzas now to finish off on Thursday. We highly recommend the following tips to ensure we’re able to grace your Thanksgiving Day table, and to make it as seamless as possible for you!

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 Thanksgiving! Monday or Tuesday would be ideal as we anticipate a high volume of business that Wednesday. Easy-to-follow instructions come with each order. Wondering just how easy half-baked pizzas are to finish off at home? Check out out the short reel below curtsy of @_wheresthefoodat via Instagram.

ORDER PIZZAS IN ADVANCE: Place your order now to ensure your preferred pickup day and time. You can order days in advance and have your pizzas delayed for your chosen date.
