• Sicilian Pepperoni Rolls — A fan favorite filled with classic pepperoni, gooey mozzarella and a pop of fresh green onions baked to golden and melty perfection, served with a side of rich pizza sauce.
• Buffalo Chicken Rolls — A spicy kick packed with tender roasted chicken, zesty buffalo sauce, melted mozzarella and housemade cool, creamy blue cheese dressing sealed inside OC’s signature dough. Extra dressing served with more dressing for dipping.
• Bell’s Two-Hearted IPA — An American-style IPA (ABV 7%) with hop-driven pine and bright citrus notes, flavors of caramel, pine and grapefruit followed by a bitter finish.
• Samuel Adams Octoberfest — A malty, smooth Märzen-style lager (ABV 5.3%) for a fall classic.
