If diners have any room left for dessert, they can enjoy a selection of cakes and pastries including the rich, moist double chocolate mousse cake. No dinner is complete without drinks, and Panza’s Brick Oven Pizza has a selection of wines along with domestic and imported beers. No time to dine in? No problem. Panza’s Brick Oven Pizza offers family meals for take-out. For $40 or less, busy families can enjoy a choice of entrée, bread, and salad with their choice of dressing. As an additional bonus, prime rib dinners are available for take-out. If a family dinner is on the horizon, Panza’s Brick Oven Pizza offers take-out and catering options for any size group. While Clements is busy in the kitchen, Panza’s nephew Rich Karwan oversees the whole operation. Karwan is no stranger to the restaurant business as he spent his childhood in and around the family restaurant and when he turned 13, he began washing dishes and eventually taking on more responsibilities. Himself an accomplished cook, he now leaves most of the kitchen operations to Clements but is always happy to help her at any station. “[Rich] has been awesome,” Clements said. “I’m so happy to be working with his family again; he’s just amazing to work for.” No matter if you choose to dine in, carry out or opt for catering, you won’t walk away wanting. “I feel like it’s home when I’m here,” Clements said. “I cook with love, from the heart. Italians like to eat; you’ll never go away hungry.”
‘Tis The Thought BasketThat Counts

Welcome to the Holidays 2020…
A brave new holiday gift giving experience. Like Santa, we may be dropping gifts by family and friends, waving as we drive out of sight and hearing what happened later (or not, as the case may be.) Don’t know what to give? Gift cards are good, but let’s face it…boooriiing. In some ways, you might as well give the ultimate gift card, cash, but nothing says (except if you give a whole lot of it) “I don’t want to be bothered with this, but feel obligated” quite like cash does. Well, get ready, here’s a new one, well not really…but it does have more panache than plastic cards for sure…ready….gift baskets! (See, it’s all in the marketing.) Here below, we put together a few to inspire. We’re happy to help, but maybe get off the couch for a ½ hour and put together your own version. It’s actually kinda fun, kinda.
SNACK-O-RAMA
Sometimes, you just have to give the people what they want. Since March, we’ve all been eating A LOT of snacks and there’s no sign of letting up now. So, yes, please eat vegetables and fresh foods. Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, here’s a basket of real goodies. Honestly, you gotta love this country cause there are so many great health-food, junk food choices. Highlights in our basket include: Vegan pork rinds, uniquely delicious popcorn and some of the best re-shelled pistachios we’ve ever had. (as shown $85)
IMMUNTASTIC
Immunity or bust. No further explanation needed. Here’s some stuff to keep up and get you going when the chips are down. We picked a few favorites including: Supportive mushroom blends, elderberry, zinc and some homeopathic remedies—all to help your basket recipient be as healthy as they can through the cold, flu and you know what season. Good health is truly the gift we all can use. (as shown $98)
