If you’re not familiar with the annual Black Friday deal at Metro Pizza, you need to know. And if you take advantage of it every year like we do, we’re happy to share some good news: It’s still happening this Friday, November 27, starting at 7 a.m., online only. Buy one holiday gift card and receive another for the same value for free. There’s a $400 purchase limit and the deal is only good while supplies last, but that’s a whole lot of delicious, perfect takeout, and isn’t that the best holiday gift of all in 2020? Get yours at metropizza.com.

For the second year in a row, Buddy V’s Ristorante at Palazzo designed a special prix fixe menu to raise money for the Children’s Heart Foundation’s Adopt a Heart Family program during the holidays. Executive chef Bryan Forgione’s youngest son CJ was born with a congenital heart defect that required surgery within his first year of life. Now five years old, CJ is the family’s heart hero. Buddy V’s diners can pitch in now through December 11 as $4 of every meal will go to the foundation. The prix fixe is $34 for lunch and $39 for dinner and the restaurant is open Friday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. for lunch, and Sunday through Thursday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m.
