Jack and Audrey.
At BoomBozz, customers come first. With the award-winning creative menu, customers
are limited only by their own imaginations. The Boombozz matrix of
choices gives them the ultimate freedom of choice. We are obsessed with
the art of making the perfect pizza by sourcing and preparing the finest
toppings available. We start with hand-crafted dough with a hint of
olive oil. Our signature pizza sauce is made with tomatoes that are
rushed from the field and fresh-packed within six hours, never from
concentrate. We smother our pizzas with only 100% cheese that is
selected from the finest cheese makers. Farm fresh toppings and fresh
cut vegetables finish our picturesque pies. In addition to amazing
pizzas, popular menu options include: Award-winning wings, golden-baked
sandwiches, tasty and flavorful pastas and crisp freshly made salads.
