Halloween Ordering Tips!

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.
