We’re so bummed to share this news. Due to the incoming Nor'easter set to hit in the next hour, we are officially canceling the final day of Pizza Patio for the season. 🌧️ We hate to end our patio season on a rainy note, but we want to keep everyone safe and dry!

A huge thank you to everyone who hung out with us on the patio this year. While the patio is closed until next year, you can still get your pizza fix at our mobile trailer, Wrightsville Pizza Kings. Come track us down and grab a pie! 🍕

Chef Austin is showing off some serious range with his fish specials: a bold Mexican Chilli Dusted Swordfish over Mole Poblano, and a bright Grecian Pan-Seared Halibut with dill, tomato, and spaghetti squash. Two totally distinct cultures, two absolutely perfect dishes. 🐟🔥

We made two trips to Lehman's Roadside Market today! 🌽🍎 Trip one filled the truck with the absolute freshest produce and just-pressed c***r. Then Jed called to tell us the corn was fresh off the stalk, so we headed back for our first 15 dozen of the season.

Honestly, this year's bi-colored corn is the best I've ever had. Stop by and buy some before it's gone—picked fresh daily!
