This class menu is packed with tasty fun: build your own pizza, toss a fresh salad, and create a sweet tiramisu mug cake to enjoy with friends! |
Bowling & Pizza Let’s get social! Please join us for a morning of bowling with friends and pizza for lunch. Wear something comfortable. No bowling shoes required. Meet at Civic Park Community Center; transportation will be provided to the bowling alley.
