A Slice of Support

How shoring up local businesses takes more than dollars

While February 9 might be National Pizza Day, let's face it—any day can be pizza day. And at this point in the pandemic, you’re probably looking for an excuse not to cook dinner for the 300th night in a row.

We're more than happy to direct you to some top local pizzerias in cities we’re proud to call our customers. Not only are these local shops serving up delicious pies, they’re also contributing to your community's bottom line through sales and other taxes.

So whether you're going for a Chicago-style tavern-cut delight or New York foldable slice, please support your favorite local pizza spot. And be sure to share your suggestions in the comments!

• Galveston, Texas: Mama Teresa's Flying Pizza tosses pies in view of the dining room, delighting customers in downtown Galveston for more than 25 years.
  
  
• Hickory Hills, Illinois: Vito & Nick’s II is a neighborhood favorite. They offer traditional and specialty pizzas on a cracker-style crust.
  
  
• Frontenac, Missouri: Grassi’s Ristorante & Italian Deli not only features incredible pizza, pasta, and St. Louis-style toasted ravioli, it’s also got a crackerjack Italian salad. 
  
  
• Newcastle, Washington: Tuscan Stone specializes in Tuscan-style wood-fired pizza. A small chain with just four locations in Washington, Tuscan Stone has all your favorites, plus rotating premium selections. Prime Rib Pizza, anyone?
