\"\"Rockstar Pizza has a pay it forward wall, where donations become traditional order combinations. One large pizza, sandwich and salad bar, an order which feeds a family of 4 to 6 or other combinations. Order types change frequently.  They ask that you please stop by their restaurant, as the kitchen staff in the back (those who answer the phones) have no knowledge what’s available each day.  Simply select the order of your choice and present it at the counter to redeem it.  No need to show an ID or a SNAP card. The board is nothing new, Rockstar and their supporters have been doing this for nearly 3 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong>Recently Rockstar Pizza started to box and bag up surprise lunches of two slices of pizza from whatever remains when their pizza buffet bar (available Monday thru Friday) closes at approximately 2pm.  First come first serve, limit one per person. Totally FREE. They ask that you please stop by their restaurant, as the kitchen staff in the back (those who answer the phones) have no knowledge what’s available each day. Additional information may be posted daily on Rockstar’s Facebook page<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
