Greetings from
Nick's Pizza Stop!
…..and welcome
to the March 2006 edition of Nick’s E-News
A New Look for Nick's
This month we've launched our new website, and that's just one of a series
of changes we've recently implemented as we move into our third year serving
you. Our new Nick's T-shirts and custom pizza boxes, both bearing the Nick's
logo designed by Scott Palmer, were introduced in mid-winter. An updated
dining room menu - with new items including Stromboli - will arrive
soon. The dining room itself is getting a bit of a facelift, too. The first
step was completed with the arrival of new tables, each featuring a
different section of the official tax map of Grantville - city residents are
invited to find their house and mark their location on mini-maps at the
service counter.
Off-Menu Specials
This spring, we'll be offering fresh spinach for pizzas, salads and
stromboli. We also continue to offer the Garden Walk (veggie) and
Athenian (gyros meat) pizzas. Occasionally, we'll offer calzones
(similar to stromboli, but with Ricotta cheese filling,) and Pasta Salads.
You can also expect to see Tiramisu and mixed berries with cream
as featured desserts throughout the season.
As the weather
heats up, Hawaiian wings and new BBQ variations will rotate
through our wing flavor selection ...Caribbean Spice wings are
currently back by popular demand and our Apple Cider-Glazed wings are
also slated for a return appearance.
Reduced-calorie Ranch dressing will be available for dine-in
customers all summer, and the summer dine-in drink selection will be
expanded to include Crystal Light flavored waters and, occasionally,
iced coffee. (Don't forget, Nick's sells Luzianne Iced Tea by
the gallon for take-out and delivery!)
Can You Survive a Trainwreck?
Okay, all you Works pizza lovers, we've got a treat for you! Step it up
next time and go for the Trainwreck pizza - twenty toppings piled high on
Nick's famous crust! We're launching a Trainwreck Hall of Fame for
repeat wreckers, and each quarter, random Hall of Fame members will be
recognized with a special notice in our dining room. The Sullivan Wrecker
Prize is named for its first recipients - Marianne and John R. Sullivan,
Sr. of Moreland. Winners will also be awarded a certificate for one free
Trainwreck Pizza and a free Nick's T-shirt. To be named to the Hall of Fame,
you must order at least three Trainwreck pizzas in a three month period.
Fabulous Fashion and Free Food!
Now through April 30 - buy a Nick's T-shirt and get a free 10" cinnamon
stix! Shirts come in red, burgundy and
forest green. Color selection will vary by size; adult and youth sizes are
available. Shirts are $10 for youth sizes and $15 for adult
sizes.
Later this year we'll be offering special treats and discounts to folks
wearing their Nick's T-shirts around town! (More
merchandise)
Investing in your Health
Chef Nick and Piazziolo Micheal recently attended a food safety workshop
offered by the county health department, and Nick will be updating his
ServSafe certification soon. Nick's has recently invested in a linen
service, improved sanitizing products, and better food storage facilities to
protect the health of our customers. We are also working to make more fresh
and low-calorie options available to you.
Dine In At Nick's and Sample Something New!
In our quest to encourage more of you to enjoy the Nick's experience on Main
Street, we are offering free samples of our appetizers - including fried
ravioli, boneless chicken wings, and meatballs parmesan - to regular
delivery customers who dine with us Tuesday through Thursday before the end
of April. If you prefer, you can try any pizza topping at no charge. You
must ask for this special when placing your order.
Our newest team member, Casey Parks, will be assisting Kim in the dining
room a few nights a week beginning this month. Kim will continue to take
your order at the counter and Casey will attend to your table. We are
considering the addition of a dedicated dining room server, but need to hear
from you if that will make a difference in your decision to dine with
Nick's!
Fun for Kid's at Nick's Pizza Stop!
April 15 marks the launch of our new Conductor Club - a birthday
party club for kids under 12. Choose from a selection of party
packages - we'll offer themed in-house parties as well as party packages for
delivery - including everything you need for a great celebration. The
birthday kid will receive a special greeting from Chef Nick and a Conductor
Club kit including a Nick's T-shirt, souvenir certificate and a Conductor
Club membership card. Club members are eligible for Conductor Club Specials
each month for a full year following their party. Look for details on our
website next month.
Kids ages 5 - 16
are invited to participate in the Nick's Pizza Stop Grantville Days
Creativity Contest. There will be several age levels and two
categories of competition - Pizza Box decorating and Local Lore (drawing or
painting a scene related to Grantville history or life in Grantville today.)
Official entry forms will be available in mid-April. Entries will be
displayed at Nick's during the week leading up to Grantville Days (June 10
and 11,) and customers will help choose the winning entries. Decorated
pizza boxes will remain on display throughout the summer.
For the younger
bunch, we are pleased to announce the addition of two fun items to our
collection of Nick's toys offered for the entertainment of children
visiting our dining room. The Pizza Party for ages four and up is a
wooden play set that lets you "create, slice and serve" your pretend pizza.
Take & Make Pizza Food Fun encourages kids aged two and older to
create their pizza using fabric crusts and toppings - and even includes a
box oven so the kids can pretend to bake their pizza! Both toys require
adult supervision and can be requested at the service counter.
Fun for Adults,
too! We also offer chess, backgammon, dominoes and other adult and
family games for enjoyment in our dining room. Please ask at the
counter.
