PLAY  BALL!

Chef Nick and friends will be joining our local Little Leaguers for the Opening Day parade through Grantville on Saturday morning, March 19. Nick's will be offering a free Team Pizza Party for every Little League home run this season! 

On Sunday afternoon, April 10, we're heading across the state line to watch the Montgomery Biscuits take on the Greenville Braves (current team for metro-Atlanta's Jeff Francouer.)  Tickets are only ten bucks! We'll be ordering tickets the week of March 28. If you would like to join us, drop by the shop with payment before close of business on Saturday, March 26.

We're also planning to catch some Catfish games in Columbus this season. Let us know if you want to be part of the fun!

LUNCH AT NICK'S

Beginning with Little League Opening Day, March 19, Nick's will be open for lunch on Saturdays through the end of April. (Exception: April 23) Saturday lunch hours will be the same as Friday lunch, 11:30 - 1:30 p.m.  We'll offer gator pies, full size pizza, cheese steak sandwiches and salads for dine-in and take-out (no delivery.) We encourage you to call ahead to place orders, particularly if you are feeding a large group.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Nick's offers "make-your-own pizza" parties for children ten and younger. A 90-minute party for twelve guests (12 make-your-own gator pies and 12 drinks) plus one 16" MeatLovers pizza and 2-liter drink for adult hosts is $95. We'll provide paper supplies for pizza and cake, music and access to the store a half hour before the party for decorating. Packages with cakes, decorations and/or kids games are also available.  Parties must be scheduled at least three weeks in advance. Please contact kim@nickspizzastop.com for more information.

NEW AT NICK'S

Nick's now offers a variety of other games for the enjoyment of dine-in customers.  Chess and Backgammon boards have been painted on tables (thank you, Scott Palmer.) Game pieces and other games are available from your server or at the ordering counter.

We are currently in a trial period of accepting Visa and MasterCard. A minimum purchase applies and the card must be presented at our counter for processing (no "signature on file" or telephone transactions.)  Until further notice, we will not accept any cards on Friday evenings.

Look for the next print edition of Nick's News coming via U.S. Mail in April. We'll be updating our year-old menu and telling you about our summer celebration of the 100th Birthday of the American Pizza. New menu items to look for include pizzadillas - Nick's Italian version of the quesadilla - as well as Gondola Pizza (French-bread style pizzas) and the Meatlover McGee (our famous meatlovers pizza with twice the meat!).

WEDDING BELLS FOR MIGHTY MIKE

Our head cook, Michael Cronic, is well-known to many of you through his years of service to previous owners of our restaurant.  Micheal is getting married on April 23 and we would like to put together a collection of "well wishes" from customers. If you would like to contribute, please send your wishes to kim@nickspizzastop.com or give them to Kim at the counter before April 15. We are counting on you to help us keep this a surprise...Micheal never surfs the Internet, so he won't know unless somebody tells him!

JOIN THE NICK'S TEAM

We are currently hiring weekend dining room and kitchen help. Restaurant experience is preferred but not required.  Applicants must be 18 or older and a reliable car is required as both positions will entail occasional delivery responsibilities.

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

Please make a point of completing the Coweta County Comprehensive Planning Citizens Survey. Paper surveys must be submitted before the end of March - copies are available at Nick's, the post office, city hall and local fire stations. An online version of the survey is available at http://www.coweta.ga.us/survey/.  And please attend the Visioning meeting at Grantville School on April 28 at 6:30 p.m. (doors open 6:00.)

If you have Grantville-specific concerns, whether or not they are related to the county-wide issues addressed in the survey, please join a grassroots effort to "get people talking" so that we can formulate clear messages to be heard at the local level. It's also a great opportunity to meet other concerned residents!  Please see www.grantville.net/gap for more information regarding this online venue for constructive discussion of issues relating to our growing community.

Northern Meriwether County residents, a local activism group has been organized in your area. Look for more information in your local newspapers - details will be posted at www.grantville.net when they are available. You can email your name and contact information to kim@grantville.net if you want the organizers to keep you in the loop.

If you have an interest in joining a discussion group for "mom-and-pop" businesses in Grantville, Hogansville, Luthersville, Moreland and other nearby towns between Newnan and LaGrange, please write to kim@grantville.net. This group will explore ways we can help each other thrive despite the growing number of major chain businesses in western Georgia.

WEB CONNECTIONS

Each month we'll also post the URL for websites of interest to Grantville area residents. Feel free to suggest links
