Magpies heart shaped pizza

Hey Tucson! Magpies offers heart-shaped pizzas for Valentine’s Day. What a great idea especially when delivered to the office, to a secret admirer, or to your honey for a romantic stay at home Valentine’s dinner.

There is no extra charge for heart shaped pizzas with pizzazz. Heart shaped pizzas can be made in any size. Valentine cards can be sent along with the pizza.

How deliciously romantic!

Glorious Meals on Wheels

Tucson’s Best Kept Secret

For a delightful and inexpensive night of tasteful exploration, try the Tucson Food Truck Roundup.

This Sunday, January 29, 4-8 pm, corner of Sixth Street/Seventh Avenue

Each Food Truck is its own kitchen on wheels. Each chef has her/his own way of combining fresh ingredients. We like keeping this event relatively unknown, and kind of small, so that we can all enjoy sampling different food truck cuisine. A little Sunday afternoon exploration.

Tables and chairs will be set up at the Benjamin Plumbing Supply parking lot and Tucson’s food trucks are invited to drop by.

Participating Food Trucks and brief description:
Mafooco (Korean Tacos)
Jane’s Rolling Wok (Chinese)
