Free Pizza Tasting, 25% off Menu Items, & DJ Olli at Hangout Livermore!

If this sounds familiar, it’s because I reviewed The Hangout Livermore a few months ago when they first opened — and it quickly earned its spot as a hidden gem on N. Vasco Road. Great pizza, solid wings, and those truly life-changing fries(not exaggerating). If you missed the review, you can check it out here.

This Friday is the perfect excuse to stop by. The Hangout is hosting complimentary pizza tastings, offering 25% off the entire menu, and welcoming DJ Ollie from 5–9pm for a fun, laid-back evening.

One last tip: whatever you order, do not skip the Peri Peri Fries. Trust me on this one. 🍟🔥

The Hangout Livermore is located at 1524 N. Vasco Rd.

Deep Dish Pizza Cravings!

Do you ever get a craving that just won’t let go? Like it hangs around for weeks until you finally give in? That’s me right now with Chicago-style deep dish pizza — and honestly, Zachary’s is the only thing that’s scratching that itch.

I used to be a Patxi’s loyalist before they closed their Tri-Valley spots, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Zachary’s… and I’m counting down until their downtown Livermore location opens. 🙌

We ordered takeout a couple weeks ago and then somehow found ourselves dining in just days later (no regrets). My husband definitely wasn’t complaining either. So. Good. 🍕😌
