PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. – Scott Anthony, owner/operator of Punxsy Pizza, the area’s community-minded and locally-owned pizzeria, recently announced that the restaurant has expanded both its dining room and its menu.
In addition to having expanded dining space, Punxsy Pizza is now offering alcoholic beverages for dine-in or takeout, as well as offering beer for delivery.
“This year, the opportunity presented itself for me to expand Punxsy Pizza and to obtain a liquor license,” said Anthony. “We now have beer and wine on our menu, and we have added an additional dining area. All of this lends itself to giving our customers an enhanced dining experience.”
Customers will now find a variety of both domestic and craft beers available at the restaurant. Also, dine-in customers will have the option of enjoying several varieties of wine with their meals; however, all wine must be consumed on the premises.
“I got the desire to add alcohol to my menu after traveling three times to Italy with the World Pizza Champions,” Anthony said. “When in Italy, you see how pizza was meant to be served and enjoyed. Pairing pizza with an alcoholic beverage can be a good way to aid in digestion, so that you feel good after eating a pizza, not tired and bloated.”
In addition to customers having the option of enjoying beer or wine while dining in, beer will also be available for takeout. Additionally, Customers will have the option of ordering beer for delivery – a first in the area.
“Punxsy Pizza is the very first restaurant in Jefferson County to offer delivery of beer,” said Anthony. “We offer this service to our community as both a convenience and a safety feature by letting us do your ‘beer run’ for you.”
In regards to beer delivery, there are a couple of important regulations that customers need to be aware of. All alcohol being delivered must be paid for by credit card over the phone, and the name on the card must match a valid ID at the time of delivery. Also, there is a 192 ounce limit per single alcohol order.
Along with the expanded beverage offerings at Punxsy Pizza, Anthony is also pleased to unveil an additional dining space for customers—a separate dining area named “The Grotto.” The new dining space is separate from the existing dining room and more than doubles the seating capacity for the restaurant.
“We have added an additional dining space—‘The Grotto’, which can seat thirty,” said Anthony. “It can be used for either overflow dining or as a private catering area for meetings or other occasions.”
