FRIDAY NIGHT PIZZA.

Apparently you people like choices.

We added more pizzas last week.

You bought more pizzas.

This is the kind of sophisticated market research we can understand.

So tonight we’re doing SEVEN.

CHEESE — $12
Wisconsin brick & white cheddar.

TRE FORMAGGI — $15
Wisconsin brick, white cheddar & real buffalo mozzarella. We called it “Three Cheese” last week. Nobody cared. Italian fixed it.

WILD MUSHROOM & WHITE TRUFFLE OIL — $17
For people who want their pizza to have a trust fund.

PEPPERONI — $15
No explanation should be necessary.

GARY’S SURPRISE — $15
Pepperoni, whipped ricotta & hot honey. Gary continues to surprise us.

BUFFALO CHICKEN — $15
House-made Buffalo sauce. With or without our house-made ranch. Blue cheese +$1.

And tonight’s newest questionable decision:

🔥 2 HOT PIGS — $17
Prosciutto. Bacon. Hot honey.

Two pigs went into a pizza. Neither came out.

FRIDAY · 5–7 PM

Last time you gave us more pizza choices, sales jumped.

So we’re making more.

Now it’s your responsibility to prove we didn’t learn the wrong lesson.

COME GET PIZZA.

PIE & QUICHE OF THE WEEK.

This week we have:

PURPLE BEE PIE

Fresh-peeled apples. Honey. Lavender.

Sounds suspiciously sophisticated for a place that also sells sausage rolls two for five bucks.

And…

PROSCIUTTO, MUSHROOM & MOZZARELLA QUICHE

Prosciutto. Mushrooms. Mozzarella.

We considered adding another ingredient.

Then someone wisely pointed out that Italy has been doing pretty well with the ones it already has.

Both are here this week only.

Which means you have two choices:

1. Come get them.

2. See a picture of them next week and say, “Damn. I meant to try that.”

We strongly recommend Option 1.

Order online or come get yours.

(yes, we did it again, recycled an irrelevant header image. Geez, writing all this nonsense is enough work. I'm not about to break out an easel and start painting pictures. Embrace the ambiguity.) Any way, here's the message you're dying to read...

Apparently you people like **variety.**

Who knew?

Quite frankly, Pizza Friday sales had dipped a little over the past few weeks.

Pie Man was concerned.

Well...

He wasn't particularly concerned while he was prancing around Italy eating pizza and muttering things like *"buffalo mozzarella"* at innocent bystanders.

But the moment his feet touched American soil...

**HE BECAME VERY CONCERNED.**

Which meant **WE** had to come up with a solution.

So we sat him down.

*"Hey boss. Maybe we should mix things up a little."*

He stared at us.

*"You do realize we offer about six pizzas, right? Other pizza places have eight sizes, 423 toppings, breadsticks, wings, salads, sandwiches and ice cream."*

Pie Man thought about this.

*"We should get ice cream."*

No.

After considerable effort, we got him pointed in the right direction.

**MORE PIZZA.** He just replied 'Oh'.

So last week we rolled out a few new ones.

There was a **Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese** thing that you people went a little nuts over.

There were a couple others.

Quite frankly, we've forgotten what they were.

If this information is important to you, please consult last week's correspondence. We can't be expected to remember everything around here.

But here's what we DO remember:

**Pizza sales spiked.**

Aha.

Apparently you people like having choices.

Thank you for finally making this clear after approximately 4,000 years of restaurant history.

Message received.

# # MORE IS MORE.

Which brings us to this week's...

# # # 🍕 OFFICIAL PIZZA TEASER

You may recall that last week we introduced the concept of a **Pizza Teaser Email**—an email where we reveal just enough about Friday's pizza lineup to make you curious.

This week's teaser is considerably more sophisticated.

Here it is:

# # **WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT NEW PIZZAS WE'RE MAKING THIS FRIDAY.**

How's THAT for a teaser?

Total mystery.

Even we're excited to find out.

We *do* know two pizzas from last week are returning.

🔥 **Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese**

And...

🧀 **Tre Formaggi.**

You may remember Tre Formaggi by its previous name:

**Three Cheese.**

Apparently naming a pizza "Three Cheese" generates approximately the same level of excitement as naming a new automobile "Car."

So we've gone Italian.

More importantly, we need to correct something.

Last week's announcement said we'd added mozzarella to our usual Wisconsin brick and white cheddar.

**NO NO NO NO.**

Not *mozzarella.*

**BUFFALO MOZZARELLA.**

Real buffalo mozzarella.

This distinction has become extremely important since Pie Man returned from Italy.

There are currently three things he won't stop talking about:

**Buffalo mozzarella.**

**Burrata.**

And...

**hydration.**

We don't know what he's planning to hydrate, but apparently we've been doing it wrong for 22 years.

The burrata thing is coming soon.

Italy has consequences.

Anyway...

**Buffalo Chicken is back.**

**Tre Formaggi is back.**

And several other pizzas currently exist only as vague thoughts bouncing around inside Pie Man's head.

We'll attempt to extract them before Friday.

Stay tuned.

Because apparently...

**you people like variety.**

And we finally got the message.

PIE & QUICHE OF THE WEEK.

We could spend several paragraphs telling you how wonderful they are.

We have before.

Nobody needs that much adjectives before lunch.

So here are the facts:

PURPLE BEE PIE

Fresh-peeled apples. Honey. Lavender.

That’s it.

Somebody had the good sense not to call it Apple Honey Lavender Pie.

PROSCIUTTO, MUSHROOM & MOZZARELLA QUICHE

Prosciutto. Mushrooms. Mozzarella.

This one required considerably less imagination in the naming department.

Both are available this week.

And today, because $5 Tuesday continues to demonstrate absolutely no regard for profit margins:

$5 OFF EACH.

There. We advertised.

Order online or come get one. 26075 Detroit Rd. Westlake - 1/4 mile West of Columbia Rd

🍕 APPARENTLY YOU PEOPLE LIKE VARIETY.

Pizza sales dipped a little.

Pie Man returned from Italy and became concerned.

So we suggested:

“Maybe offer more pizzas? Everyone else has 8 sizes, 423 toppings and ice cream.”

Pie Man:

“We should get ice cream.”

No.

We added more pizzas instead.

And…

PIZZA SALES SPIKED.

Aha.

Message received.

MORE IS MORE.

So here’s this week’s Pizza Teaser:

WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT NEW PIZZAS WE’RE MAKING FRIDAY.

Total mystery.

We do know these are returning:

🔥 Buffalo Chicken & Blue Cheese

🧀 Tre Formaggi — Wisconsin brick, white cheddar and real buffalo mozzarella.

We called it “Three Cheese” last week.

Apparently that’s about as exciting as naming a new automobile Car.

Since returning from Italy, Pie Man has talked almost continuously about:

Buffalo mozzarella.

Burrata.

And…

hydration.

The burrata thing is coming.

The hydration thing has everyone a little nervous.

Stay tuned.

Friday Pizza is getting bigger. 26075 Detroit Rd. Westlake - 1/4 mile West of Columbia Rd

(yes, we recycled a totally irrelevant header image. Don't like it? Oh, sorry.)
Anywayyy....

We were about to write an email announcing this week's **Pie & Quiche of the Week.**

Then somebody pointed out...

**We already did.**

They're both described in today's **$5 Tuesday email.**

In some detail, actually.

**Purple Bee Pie.**

**Prosciutto, Mushroom & Mozzarella Quiche.**

They're in there.

So we're not going to describe them again.

You want to know what's in Purple Bee?

**Read the $5 Tuesday email.**

Wondering what possessed us to put prosciutto, mushrooms and mozzarella into a quiche?

**$5 Tuesday email.**

This is what happens when you don't read your Gray House correspondence.

You miss things.

Important things.

Pie-related things.

And now you're opening a SECOND email just to learn that the information you seek was in the FIRST email.

Frankly, this could have been avoided.

Go back.

Find the $5 Tuesday email.

Read it.

There's good stuff in there.

And while you're there, you'll discover something else rather important:

**Both the Pie AND Quiche of the Week are $5 OFF today.**

See what you're missing?

This is why we send these things.

Subject: The Best Thing You Can Do With Five Bucks Today

Five dollars isn’t what it used to be.

You can barely buy a cup of coffee.

Parking costs five bucks.

Somebody will probably sell you a bottle of water for five bucks and look you straight in the eye while doing it.

So we decided to restore some dignity to the five-dollar bill.

It’s $5 Tuesday.

Today:

Large Pies — $5 OFF

Large Quiche — $5 OFF

Hand Pies — 2 for $5

Hand Quiche — 2 for $5

Sausage Rolls — 2 for $5

Pepperoni Rolls — 2 for $5

Mix. Match. Abuse the system.

One sausage roll and one pepperoni roll? $5.

A hand pie and a sausage roll? $5.

Two sausage rolls because you have no interest in variety? $5.

Pie Man’s position is that if five dollars can still buy two things wrapped in pastry, civilization has not completely collapsed.

$5 Tuesday. Today only.

Come get your money’s last remaining shred of dignity.
