“After Mesa residents taste our pizza, we believe their perceptions of ‘fast’ pizza will quickly change,” said Christina Coy, VP of Marketing for Pie Five Pizza Co. “To show we don’t take our pizza lightly, Pie Five is offering $5 pizzas and a free drink all grand opening weekend, January 29-31, at the Mesa location with accompanying flyer.”
