are limited only by their own imaginations. The Boombozz matrix of

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.
