DATE NIGHT? WHY NOT!
.
It can still be date night—just at home. Put down your devices. Set the table. Open the wine. Plate your dinners. Enjoy!
.
Because we want you to have the full Alforno experience even when you eat at home, our dinners come with focaccia, olives and Alforno's famous bread. Add a salad and a nice bottle of wine (we have the Scaia Rosso on special this weekend) and you'll have a lovely dining experience.
Feels like a pizza kind of night!
Have you had our Chicken, Broccoli & Ricotta Pizza?
Fresh broccoli, ricotta, mozzarella, chicken, garlic, thyme and oregano hot and bubbling.
