Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.
There’s something special about a hot, cheesy pizza — it hits differently when the munchies strike. Sometimes you just need to relax, grab a slice, and embrace the beautiful cheese pull.
Over at North Italia, they’re doing something special.
The team has turned lasagna into a pizza, and we’re here for it. The new lasagna verde pie ditches the noodles but keeps the flavor, layering béchamel, mozzarella, pecorino, basil, and a hit of wild oregano onto a crispy crust.
It’s lasagna, but handheld.
The pizza is available now until Friday, April 11 at 2995 E. Skyline Dr.
Additionally, the restaurant has an exclusive pizza for a limited time: the carbonara. Guanciale, fingerling potatoes, Aleppo peppers, pecorino, and fontina are what you’ll find on this one.
Each pizza is available for dine-in or delivery through DoorDash, $22 each, and will replace the “Chef’s Daily” pizza on the menu through Friday, April 11.
The Foothills restaurant is open 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Monday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. – 11 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Sunday.
North Italia is located at 2995 E. Skyline Dr. For more information, visit northitalia.com.

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.
