The COVID-19 pandemic has hit our food and beverage industry hard, forcing all restaurants to halt dine-in service. But by ordering pickup or delivery, you can help those still in service stay afloat. We’re now going to share some of our favorite local takeout, pickup, and delivery deals every Friday. So, if you’re up for a #treatyourself weekend, take a look at our first list below. And don’t forget to tip! Our hospitality workers need it now more than ever.
1. Secret Lasagna is offering individual and group packages that include lasagna and all the fixings, plus dessert. If you’re dining solo, consider “The Ron Burgundy” package. It comes with one personal lasagna and an additional “personal top secret lasagna (vegan),” plus garlic bread, a Caesar salad, and summer berry crisp for $42. For larger groups, try “The Garfield” for $125, featuring family-size servings and Ooey Gooey Brownies for dessert. Add wine to food orders for an additional $20.
