Half-Price Pizza and Pitchers

The flowers. The date. The Facebook status change. Last Monday was... complicated. So let’s keep this Monday simple: pizza and beer. You can get half-off pizzas covered in ham and jalapeños and pitchers of Shiner at Knox Street Pub. Simplicity is best served in pitcher form.
