We’re happy to have them on the team! Stop in, say hello, and help us welcome these two to the Big Cheese crew! 🥗🍕

This past weekend, ICC Men’s Basketball suffered an unexpected and devastating loss as Jaylon Johnson unexpectedly collapsed during a game in Oklahoma and later passed away. Jaylon was a great athlete and even greater kid. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and teammates.

While grieving their beloved son, his parents must also navigate hospital bills, the cost of bringing Jaylon home to Arizona, and funeral expenses. We hope our community can help ease some of that burden and surround them with love.

Please consider donating to support Jaylon’s family. Any amount helps, and sharing the fundraiser can help it reach others who may want to give.

Our hearts are with Jaylon’s family and everyone who loved him.

With heavy hearts, we are starting a GoFundMe for the family of Jaylon Johnson, a beloved… Ashlee Williams needs your support for Jaylon Johnson Memorial Fund

It’s officially the weekend! 🍕🕹️❤️

Celebrate at Big Cheese, the only restaurant in town offering “babysitting” with every dine-in purchase!

Our game room machines are fun, reliable, and have been entertaining our youngest customers for years. So grab a pizza, bring a stack of quarters, and enjoy a date night for however long those quarters last.

*We are not responsible for increased noise level that may be caused by the candy, bouncy balls, and tiny toys that come home with you.*

In CJ Hamilton’s office at Silver Lake High School.

In class at ICC.

We remember exactly where we were on this day 25 years ago and we know that everyone that’s old enough remembers too.

Today, on September 11, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the first responders who continue to serve our communities every day.

As a small gesture of our appreciation, all first responders who dine with us today will receive 15% off their meal.

To our local firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers: thank you for your courage, sacrifice, and service. We are honored to serve you. 🇺🇸❤️
