They go together so well and are a treat for those times you want a night off, football grand finals or a casual Sunday.
They are the ultimate indulgence and more often than not, we feel a little bit naughty yet satisfied when we consume them.
Ok, so maybe not all the time.
Home delivery is also the ultimate indulgence, with your favourite foods readily available without even leaving the home.
And in a society that knows what it wants and when they want it – now – a local pizza chain is looking to take it to the next level.

Sure, it’s another notch in the belt for events or services that are putting Wagga on an even playing field with metropolitan cities that are already doing this.
Not only is it lazy – but food is already being delivered so beverages shouldn’t be too much of a stretch – but there are safety concerns.
Monitoring intoxication levels in a controlled environment such as a pub can prove to be difficult at times.
What happens when kind citizens are running six packs and bottles of wine all over town?
