Alvy's x Honbo
Craving burgers and pizza but can't make up your mind? Honbo and Alvy's latest collaboration will ease your worries by combining the two. From now until July 7, Alvy's will be serving a Honbo-inspired cheeseburger pizza topped with tomato sauce, mozzarella, molten American cheese, pickles, Double Gold standard ground beef, white onion and Honbo’s secret sauce; while visitors to Honbo's Sun Street location will be able to order cheeseburger pizza pockets, which pack the same ingredients into a calzone-like format.
Wash it all down with a trio of alcoholic drinks spiked with Wild Turkey bourbon, available at both restaurants. The lemonade slushie and bourbon highball make for refreshing hot-weather beverages, while the more patriotic Americans in our midst can throw back a pickle-back shot to prove their allegiance to the flag.
