On a rainy day I listened to the final episode of @marcmaron.bsky.social’s WTF with @barackobama.bsky.social. The take away is we are facing a time of struggle, but everything, like the rain, podcasts, and presidencies, come to and end, and life goes on. BOOMER LIVES!!

As a former drummer and Professor fan, Rush touring again brings longing. As a Rush fan, I cannot wait to see them live again!!!! Hell yea for Canada’s best export!

Now that we have NY style pizza at Nick’s, what are some of the differences between it and our traditional Greek style? #nystylepizza🍕 #greekpizza

Starting this Friday, September 5th, Nick’s Pizza will be expanding our pizza offerings to include NY Style Pizza alongside our stalwart Greek Style! Soft launched during Downtown After Dark in August, we are finally rolling out the new cook, new sauce, and new cheese! Try it out this weekend!

Met some people at Clover Road Brewing earlier in week interested in Game Night tomorrow night. Might not start until 7 pm, with the kitchen closing at 8 pm, but luckily I know the owner. This week I was thinking of bringing Century: Eastern Mountains- Golem Edition. Join in or bring your own games!

Picked up a copy of Haba’s Animal Upon Animal today for the shop’s game library!! Is it in German? Yes!, but luckily this is a game that is easy for all ages to play (and we’ll add a copy of the English rules from our personal library).

So far, the Clocker Classic is the most popular of our drinks at The Sidecar. Named for the Ashland mascot AYL Classic League, it’s strawberry and blue raspberry syrups and soda water, the colors of our town’s teams! Come down to The Sidecar and try this or one of our other drinks today!!

Picture of the Clocker Classic drink- red, white, and blue in color for the colors of Ashland, MA sports teams.

Its a great day for one of my favorite beers of all time purchased at Wine Empire in Ashland, MA. Goes great with pizza too, but I may be biased😉!

The Sidecar will be open today for anyone who has the day off and wants to see what we’re working on! Grab a drink, a snack, and maybe play some Just Dance or Mario Kart! And don’t forget, tonight is Game Night!

Nick's Pizza Ashland, MA @nickspizzaashland.bsky.social · Jun 15

(3/3) The Sidecar is a meeting place, hangout, and event stage for after school and throughout days off. With our soft launch this past Friday (June 13th), and our first official customers/ Mario Kart players, we’re building from here! #mariokart8 #justdance #pizzaparty

(2/3) On Sunday, June 7th we had a tremendously successful Friends and Family Open House of this space we are dubbing The Sidecar. Serving as an entertainment spot and place to get fun, family friendly drinks and snacks,

(1/3) Over the past year since taking over Nick’s Pizza and Grill, we’ve been eyeing making our seating space a place where the youth of Ashland, and surrounding communities, can come and hang out.

Every Thursday from 4 pm to 7:30 pm is Game Night. We recently had a generous donation of games that will permanently live at the shop, and were lucky enough to have some Ashland and Hopkington kids test drive one! Bring your own games or try some of the others from our library this week!!

Even a simple local pizza parlor like Nick’s isn’t immune from Bowser chasing Princess Peach. Luckily she and Toadette left him in the dust! Coming soon to Nick’s Pizza and Grill, you can kick some Koopa shell too!

We’re bring new things in to Nick’s Pizza and Grill, looking to transform our seating space into an area where the youth of Ashland, and surrounding towns, can meet up, have fun, and maybe grab a slice. Part of that is testing out some of our new equipment.

I hate when I already know what a “special announcement” from a podcast means in advance. Oh well, 16 years is a helluva run for WTF with marcmaron.bsky.social!
Pow, I just…IYKYK!
