Bake your specialty pizza with Wagyu beef tallow.
Pick Wagyu beef tallow instead of olive oil on any specialty pizza except the Smoked Prime Rib. You get a richer, beefier flavor and crispier, golden edges. It’s free when you order online. As far as we can tell, no other pizzeria in the country is doing it. Wagyu beef tallow is expensive, so the free online upgrade won’t last forever.
