It’s meatball season.

The holidays mean something different to everyone, but what they mean to Pizza Tonight is simple: meatballs.

Many of you are getting ready to welcome friends and family into your homes or to start the marathon of social and work holiday parties that befalls the next couple of months. Either way, you’ll want to have something delicious to share. Why not something that’s locally sourced and lovingly made from high quality ingredients, something that takes less than 15 minutes to prepare?

We’ve partnered with the sausage kings of Richmond, Sausage Craft, to bring you our own meatballs, in a pre-made mix! All you do is form the mix into the size you want (we recommend a 1-2 Tablespoon meatball) and fry over medium-high heat for about 5-10 minutes (depending on size, of course.)

You can dress them up with whatever sauce you like – Pizza Tonight’s own marinara or your personal favorite recipe. And they’re great the next day, should there be any leftovers, say, as a sub with some provolone, marinara, and peppers.

We’ll have meatballs to sample and purchase at tomorrow’s Renegade Market at the William Byrd Community House, the indoor market at St. Stephen’s, as well as Saturday’s South of the James market in Forest Hill. And starting soon, you’ll be able to purchase them from the convenience of your living room via Relay Foods, where you can already purchase our kits, doughs, and sauces.

And while you’re thinking of others, you should know that we’ve created 3 “Bundles of Joy” to make shopping for your favorite gourmand quite pleasant indeed.
