Big Cheese Pizza’s August Customer of the Month is Mary Rinck! 🎉

Mary is a regular here at Big Cheese. The only time she doesn’t have a big smile is when she’s focused in on a serious game of Bunko or playing cards in the conference room.

We truly appreciate customers like Mary and love getting to see her whenever she’s in the restaurant.

Thank you, Mary! Congratulations on being our August Customer of the Month! Enjoy your gift certificate! 🥗❤️🍕

We got the Big Cheese crew together this Saturday morning to go over procedures, talk through some upcoming changes, and get everyone ready for all the fun events we have coming up.

Then, because nothing says “important staff meeting” quite like ending it with a highly competitive pizza box-folding competition.

Procedures reviewed.
Changes discussed.
Events planned.
And $20 lost to Jaden, our Champion pizza box-folder.

Just another great day at Big Cheese Pizza. Come by and see us!
🍕❤️🥗

Come grab some pizza, pull up a chair, and watch the show live in the restaurant — or tune in to SEK Sports for the live stream!

And we figured if we’re going to have football coaches talking until 8:30ish, we probably ought to stay open.

September 3rd will also officially kick off our NEW EXPANDED HOURS! Starting September 3rd Big Cheese Pizza will be open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 AM–9 PM!

Football. Pizza. Local coaches. Jeff Carpenter with a microphone.

Seems like a pretty good way to start the season.

See you at the inaugural Big Cheese Coach’s Show presented in partnership with Geek-N-Out!🏈🍕🎙️

We had the best visit with members of our local IHS FFA Chapter.

They stopped by Big Cheese selling business sponsorships to raise funds for their chapter.

FFA is such an important organization for young people - building leadership, confidence, responsibility, and skills that last a lifetime. We are so happy to support the chapter as a sponsor this year!

💙💛

Fun Big Cheese Fact: One Big Cheese owner was the former Cherryvale FFA Chapter President and even placed fourth at state in Dairy Foods.

The other owner achieved Greenhand status and apparently decided that was enough personal growth for one organization. Any guesses on who is who? 🫣😬😉🤣
