Please stop in and show our neighbors some love, we’re so sad to see them go. 💔

Hello, Middletown Family. 👋

This one hurts.

After three years of building Kingdom Games Middletown with you, we are heartbroken to announce that we will be closing our Middletown store. 💔

We are current on rent. The store has been gaining traction. The community has shown up for us. But despite that, our lease was not renewed.

So starting today:

🧨 **10% OFF THE ENTIRE STORE** 🧨

✨ **Nothing held back. Everything is included.** ✨

If Kingdom Games Middletown has ever meant something to you, now is the time to come in, grab something, say goodbye, and help us clear the shelves.

Thank you for every trade, every tournament, every Pokémon pack, every booster box, every laugh, and every kid who got excited walking through our doors.

We love Middletown. ❤️

We are grateful for these three years.

And we are absolutely devastated to close this chapter. 🥲

Please share this post so everyone who helped make Kingdom Games Middletown special has a chance to stop by one last time. 🙏

With love,
Kingdom Games

Sometimes a kind review is exactly what we need to hear. 🤍

Lisa was visiting from Sonoma and stopped by Ciao Bella while she was in Lake County. We were so grateful to read her review afterward.

Thank you for supporting our little pizza shop, Lisa. We hope to see you again the next time you’re in town! 🍕

🚨 NEW PIZZA ALERT 🚨

Say hello to Bella Piccante. 🌶️

Our newest specialty pizza starts with a creamy garlic base, topped with mozzarella, fresh crushed garlic, Calabrese salami, rotisserie chicken, pickled jalapeños, pepperoncinis, and thinly sliced red onion.

It’s creamy, cheesy, tangy, spicy, and completely addictive.

If you love bold flavors with just the right amount of heat, this one has your name on it. 🔥

Who’s brave enough to try our newest creation? 🍕🔥

Middletown Days is tomorrow, and we’re OPEN! 🍕

Starting this weekend, we’ll be serving slices on Saturdays and Sundays too. 🙌🏽

See you tomorrow, Middletown!
