Half -Price Pizza Thursday!

Here at Pizza by the Sea, we believe in supporting local outreach programs and ministries, especially those benefiting children. Right now, Food for Thought, one such program, is holding their Back to School Food drive.

Basically, this program sends home backpacks of easy to prepare food with school children who may not have access to healthy meals on a regular basis. We would like to help fill up these backpacks by donating a bunch of these items to Food for Thought, so that their office is filled to the brim!

So here is the deal: On Thursday, August 18th (after 3 p.m.), bring in one or more of these items listed below, and you will get 50% off of your pizzas! It's a win-win situation-- you get a delicious and amazingly cheap dinner, and Food for Thought gets its pantry filled!

Let's see how much food we can collect for this amazing program serving our local schoolchildren!

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." (Matthew 25:35

Back to School Bash

Thanks to all of you who came out for the Back to School Bash on Thursday night! We hope you and your kids had fun..... we certainly did! A big thanks to Abrakadoodle for their amazing face-painting skills, and to our staff for making everything run smoothly! I leave you with the many beautifully painted happy faces!

More Friends from Texas!

One of the things we love about living here is that we get to see many friends who vacation in the area. We had dinner at PBTS with some of our very good friends from Dallas and their kids, who are vacationing in Seaside. While the adults had a relaxing dinner, the kids had fun goofing around and eating lots and lots of pizza.

And I couldn't resist putting this adorable little guy's picture up, too. All during dinner, he smiled and made eyes at us from the table next door. He was so happy, and those eyelashes!

Back to School Bash!

Come and join us on Thursday evening from 5-7 p.m. for some family fun at Pizza by the Sea! Free face painting from Abrakadoodle, silly straws and fun drinks for the kids, and drawings for prizes! A great way to celebrate the first week of school for local kiddos, or the end of summer vacation for others! Hope to see you there!

Budding Artists

The students from Miss Melissa's and Miss Caroline's art class came next door for pizza last week! What a wonderful group and so well-behaved! Thank you for coming to see us at Pizza by the Sea!
