We got SPECIALS. We got TRIVIA!!

Halloween is all over trivia. Tonight sign up starts at 6:30 trivia starts at 7!! Prizes for top three teams. Free to play y'all!!!

🐷 PIG DESTROYER — $17

Red sauce. Fresh garlic. Smoked provolone. Mozzarella. Pickled peppers. Grilled onion. Bacon. Crispy fried onion. Honey garlic ranch.

This pig didn’t come to play nice. A full-on Black Sheep bacon assault built on red sauce and fresh garlic, loaded with smoked provolone, mozzarella, pickled peppers and grilled onions, then finished with a crispy fried onions and a hit of honey garlic ranch.

Sweet. Smoky. Tangy. Crunchy. Savory. Completely over the top.
The kind of pizza that makes you question whether bacon can actually be a food group.

PIG DESTROYER.
No pigs were safe in the making of this pizza.

🐑 B.L.T. — “BAAAD LITTLE THING” — $12

Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. American cheese. Black pepper. Crispy fried onion. Honey garlic ranch. Grilled sourdough.

We took the humble BLT and gave it the Black Sheep treatment. Thick, crispy bacon. Cold, crunchy lettuce. Juicy tomato. Melted American cheese. Black pepper. Crispy fried onions. And our honey garlic ranch, all smashed between grilled sourdough.

It’s familiar. It’s filthy. It’s ridiculously good.

The B.L.T. — Baaad Little Thing.
Classic sandwich. Black Sheep behavior.

Specials are in! And, it's a spooky season so, Black pizza dough goes through this week!!!

Pizza - 🔥 THE RANCH RIOT🔥 18$

This one doesn’t f**k around.

Red sauce. Italian sausage. TWO kinds of pepperoni. Giardiniera. Melted mozzarella. Then we hit it with a ridiculous drizzle of garlic Parmesan ranch.

Meaty. Spicy. Tangy. Cheesy. Garlicky. Ranchy.

Basically, we took a meat-lover’s pizza, gave it a Chicago-style attitude problem, and finished the whole thing with ranch.

THE RANCH RIOT.

You’ve been warned. 🐑🔥

From The Grill - THE BLACK MAC! 12$

Two smashed beef patties, American cheese, shredded lettuce, pickles, diced onion, and that secret Big Slap Sauce stacked on a toasted brioche bun with a club middle!

It’s got the classic fast-food DNA you know and love—then we Black Sheep’d the hell out of it.

Two patties. Three slices. One hell of a slap.

Even monsters deserve a parking lot upgrade!

We're getting a BRAND-NEW PARKING LOT!

While construction is underway, there will be some temporary changes to where you park and how you enter Monsterama.

CHECK OUT THE ATTACHED MAP for designated parking areas and the best way to enter the building during construction.

DON'T WORRY — WE'RE STILL OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
