Like a pigskin and a wide receiver, pizza and football go hand in hand. Have you ever yelled at your friends to “go long” and throw a hot, cheesy slice of pizza in their direction, but then, because you’re not as great as a quarterback as you thought, it gets stuck to the ceiling fan instead? Just me?
We’re talking about pizza here, though, and not my unfortunate situation. North Italia recently kicked off the NFL playoffs with two specialty Game Day Pizzas for a limited time — from now until Super Bowl Sunday (February 11).
These pizzas — the Calabrian Buffalo Chicken Pizza and Spinach, Kale & Artichoke Pizza — are priced at $20 each and they’re bringing all of the game-winning flavors to the field, I mean, the table. Also, they’ll be around for you to celebrate National Pizza Day on Friday, February 9.
Hand-tossed with ingredients such as house giardiniera, gorgonzola, fontina, and smoked mozzarella, the Calabrian Buffalo Chicken Pizza “brings all the bold flavors needed for a touchdown.”
The Spinach, Kale & Artichoke Pizza is handmade with fried shallots, smoked mozzarella, and zesty lemon — it brings a lighter, vegetarian option to the game and pairs nicely with shareable appetizers such as the Zucca Chips, Prosciutto Bruschetta, and Burrata Di Stagione.
As mentioned earlier, the Game Day Pizzas are available now until the end of the day on Sunday, February 11.
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.
