The January initiative features Evel Pie team creation: Grill’n McMillian Chicken Margarita Pizza, featuring Grill’n McMillian ‘Squeeze my Lemons’ Infused Olive Oil, mesquite marinated grilled chicken, fresh basil, mozzarella, and marinara.

The pizza will be available by the slice only for $7, with $1 benefitting benefit Nathan Adelson Hospice Care, whose mission is to be the community’s trusted partner for comprehensive end-of-life care.
