Last week we launched our Pizza Rewards! Every time you place an order online you accrue points. You can then redeem those points at checkout on any future orders to receive a discounted price. You can let them accumulate over a period and redeem them all at once or you can redeem them each time you order. The choice is yours. You may also use them in combination with a coupon to save even more money. You need not do anything to enroll. Just simply order pizzas online and watch the point accumulate. We are already seeing some customers redeem there points and saving money. You can find more information here.

Lately a whole bunch of phone calls have been inquiring where we deliver. So here is a list of towns: Apollo Beach, Sun City, Sun City Center, Ruskin, Wimauma. So basically if you live on Big Bend Rd or south to the Manatee River off US 301 or Cockroach Bay Rd on US 41 we deliver to you.

I'm starting to get better at writing code for our website. Today I was able to update our online ordering system so you don't have long pages. Everything will pretty much fit on the viewable page. I was also able to shrink the file size of most of our pictures. Both of these changes should result in a faster experience!

Today the Tampa Tribune honored us! Best of 2013 came out today for South Shore. South Shore is the area that includes Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Riverview, Sun City Center, Gibsonton, Wimauma, and surrounding communities. We had the honor of placing second in the pizza category. Second! Wow! After being open for just over a year the community thought we had the second best pizza in the entire area! How blessed we are! However we see it as even better news! The first place winner has been open almost 10 years and doesn't deliver. The 3rd place winner has been open well over 10 years and doesn't deliver either. That means that hands down we DO have the best pizza delivered in South Shore! We are so honored to have just been nominated let alone place second. We thank all of our loyal customers and employees that have made this possible!
Competition was tough and so were the rules. As you can see below it is not easy to win if you must register to even cast a ballot and then vote in at least 52 categories. They didn't even give names to chose from just fill in the blanks for each category! Here are the rules: No purchase necessary. One valid entry per contestant. One entry per person. Only original ballots will be counted; At least 52 categories of the ballot must be completed in order for your votes to count. All nominations must (1) refer to people, places, services and businesses located in Ruskin, Apollo Beach, Riverview, Sun City Center, Gibsonton, Wimauma, and surrounding communities, (2) be specific enough to clearly identify who or what is being nominated (3) fit the appropriate category and transact business in that category. You must be 13 years of age or older at time of entry to be eligible for this contest. This contest is void where prohibited by law. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. Automated voting of any kind is not allowed. Detection of said automated voting will lead to votes being voided. Only one registered account per voter. If multiple accounts are detected for a single voter, they will be disabled and votes disqualified. - See more at: http://tbo.upickem.net/engine/Rules.aspx?contestid=90778#sthash.IXHP3uyS.dpuf
Once again thank you! We are honored!

Today we hired Noel back. He worked for us when we first opened up as part of the staff that remained from the old company. We are excited to have him back on our driving staff.

We have added a new product. We are now selling banana bread as a dessert. Of course you could order it as a meal, side item, snack, or for tomorrow's dinner. It is really good! It is a half pound loaf of banana bread and only $2.50. This is an item that we bake fresh in our store so quantities are limited to ensure freshness but if you know you will need several give us some notice and we will bake some just for you. So now we are baking chocolate chip cookies, macadamian white chocolate chip cookies, and banana bread fresh in our store.

March 8, 2013

Today we hired Mike and Dan as our new delivery drivers. This should help some of our growing pains and help us stay caught up on delivering pizzas within 30 minutes. Hopefully we will add another driver or two in the next week.

Boy Scout Troop 661 stopped by tonight to bake 600 loaves of banana bread. This has to be the best tasting banana bread in town! I'm not kidding. They started after we closed at 11pm. Somehow they managed to make from scratch all 600 loaves and bake them in less than 4 hours. If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it possible. Many thanks to all those who helped out and to all those who bought bread and supported them. If you'd like some banana bread call us or email us and let us know. We can probably get you some for the next couple days. We'd especially like to thank them for leaving the place so clean.

We added pictures of our pizzas, sub sandwiches, wings, and desserts to the main page. I don't know why they weren't there in the first place. We are after all a carryout or delivery pizza and sub shop.

We didn't get to watch the game with all the orders but we heard the 49er's pulled the plug on the lights so they could try to regroup.

South Shore Pizza opens for business in the old Domino's Pizza location. We retained the staff of the Domino's Pizza so no one lost their job as a result of the closure of Domino's Pizza.
