With menu items like catfish, wings, ribs, and seafood, Bolton’s Spicy Chicken & Fish is a great choice for those who enjoy a little kick to their food. It’s spicy, but not over the top.

Inspired by the Neapolitan tradition in Italy, Crankees Pizzeria strives to follow strict guidelines when it comes to making its wood-fired pizzas. These include making sure the crust is made with “00” flour; San Marzano tomatoes are used in the sauce; and pizzas are baked in the oven for no longer than 90 seconds. Vegetables come from local farmers and the truck uses Italian and American cured meats. Crankees’ 10-inch personal pizzas are made fresh to order and topped with the best regional ingredients.
