Back in the ancient times before days of China flu we had a Tap House in our small town and a brand new Mexican restaurant.  Their pizza was ok and they had about a dozen different beers rotating on tap plus Coors Light or PBR.  We would call in an order of pizza to go and in 15-20 minutes it would be ready and I would drive the 3 miles to town and pick it up.

During the China flu we ordered a lot of take out and tried to support the locals, but eventually the Tap House closed and a new one called Retro Pizza with video games, better pizza and limited beer options took it's place.  At some time in the China flu years I figured out that you don't call in an order, instead you go to the restaurant and place an order to go.  That way you can set down and order a beer or two and watch the ball game on the screen will they make the pizza.

If you don't care for pizza just go across the street to the Mexican restaurant and sit at the bar and drink Dos Equis until the order is ready.  During the covid you could even get margaritas to go with a piece of tape over the straw so you couldn't drink on the way back, like that lasted until I left the parking lot!
