Snagging a deal is one of my favorite things, and getting a deal on a national food holiday is right up there on my list of “favorite things to do when I’m saving money.”
Friday, February 9 is National Pizza Day, and Fentonelli’s Pizzeria & Bar at 7262 N. Oracle Rd. is celebrating with a special, limited-time, one-day deal: A slice of pizza and a soda for $6.
Head into the northside restaurant from 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. to get the $6 slice of pizza and soda combo, which can either be a cheese, pepperoni, or the daily special. Heck, you can even go to Fentonelli’s twice — once for lunch and another time for dinner if you’re a cheapskate like me.
Tyler Fenton, who’s also the mastermind behind downtown’s Reilly Craft Pizza and Drink and BATA, opened this northside location in 2021 as Reilly North but then renamed the restaurant to Fentonelli’s in February 2023.
As the story goes, when Fenton’s parents began dating 40 years ago, his Italian mother worried that her grandmother would disapprove of a non-Italian suitor. In a way to appeal to her nonna, she claimed that his last name was Fentonelli. The story remains a laughing point for the family and its playfulness of it lends itself to the spirit behind the restaurant.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
