PIZZA LOVERS,
We will be the first to admit, NO ONE can deliver a pizza as fresh as just from the oven. We think everyone knows this, but, when it comes to delivering any food, the quality of the product depends on: A. Time involved; and B. Type of heat used to keep it hot.
We can make most of our pizza deliveries in 15 to 20 minutes. But our speed is important only for your satisfaction. We can keep pizza at exactly the proper temperature (154 degrees) and at just the right humidity (84%) for hours. This is because we have the only humidity controlled delivery ovens in town.
If you want your pizza fresh from the oven, come on out to the Corral at 1401 West 7th, or if you're too busy, give our deliveries a try tonight.
