General Assembly pizza wants your family pizza party to go off without a hitch. For the time being they have added “make your own pizza kits” to their delivery and pick-up menus. Choose between two different pizza packs, complete with two portions of naturally leavened dough and assorted toppings. Opt for the classic Mila Margherita ($19) which includes their vibrant tomato sauce, fresh basil and pillows of fresh fior di latte and grated Grana Padano cheese. Or try their Loving Cup pizza kit ($21) where Ezzo pepperoni and aged mozzarella are the stars.
Good Hombres
Through the COVID-19 pandemic, Good Hombres is offering its menu of Mexican classics for pick-up and on UberEats. Their fresh taco kits come disassembled so you don’t miss the fun of DIY Taco Tuesday. Pick from their selection of Carnitas ($21), Barbacoa ($22), Tinga de Pollo ($20) or vegan Hongos ($18). The kits are served with twelve tortillas and salsa. You can also order take-out groceries like masa ($9/kg), chips ($5) and black beans ($5).
