Super Bowl Sunday

For those looking for low-key not-a-sports-bar bar vibes, we’ll be showing the big game on Super Bowl Sunday!

We’ll have all-day happy hour specials ($2 off all Tomato Pie pizzas, $1 off adult juice boxes, and $7 small Tachos).

If you’re hosting at home, we’ll be offering our beloved Philly-style tomato pies for takeout and delivery on UberEats and Doordash.

And if you’re more cat-lover over football fan, we’ll be showing the Kitten Bowl from 1-2pm!

Free to attend, open for walk-ins.
