OG Pizza Night is coming to NYC

New to the city, or just tired of seeing the same faces? That's why we're starting OG Pizza Night in New York City.

Once a week, at dinner, you sit down with about 6 new people at a local pizza place. You share a pie, you talk, and you go home with a few new friends.

❤️ From the founder

"I wanted to share my love of pizza with everyone and make it social."

- Gregg D, The Weekly Slice #1
