Forget TGIF, we’re talking TGIFF – Thank God it’s Firkin Friday! On tap this week is Flying Dog’s Imperial Pumpkin Ale, ‘The Fear’. But first, let’s get back to the basics – what is a firkin you ask? Simply stated, it’s a mini barrel of beer. More specifically, the firkin is a small barrel (10.5 gallons) that is one-fourth the size of a regular barrel of beer. So you’re probably thinking…why would I want smaller beer barrels?? Well for starters, the smaller sized barrel is ideal for cask conditioning, yielding naturally fermented and carbonated beer in a small batch. We won’t bore you with the exact details, but ales that are housed in the firkin are naturally carbonated by its resident yeast, with ingredients that have not been processed in any way outside of the fermentation via yeast. The result is some seriously delicious beer. But don’t take our word for it, head in to … Continue reading →

Ocean City is primed for Halloween, with costume contests, haunted mazes, pumpkin races and more happening all weekend long in downtown Ocean City. Also slated for this weekend is the Seaside 10 – a 10 mile or 5k race starting at the Ocean City Inlet and continuing up the boardwalk. Whether you’re carb loading for the race (opt for our spaghetti or ziti), enjoying an autumn day out with the family (pizza, pizza and more pizza), or stopping in for a bite to eat before a night out (don’t forget our delicious apps!) there are more than a few reasons to hit Pizza Tugos this weekend. Looking for a lazy day on the couch? Make it simple with delivery from Pizza Tugos. The taproom at our West Ocean City location is always a good option for Happy Hour, date night, or grabbing a few drinks with friends. For the craft beer lover, we’ve got you … Continue reading →

Summer may be over in Ocean City, but it’s not over QUITE yet for the 2,000-plus hot rods, custom and classic cars, and trick trucks that will be cruisin’ into town this week. The annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event is a big favorite of ours here at Pizza Tugos; after all, what’s not to love? Cars, special guests, entertainment, giveaways…and did we mention the cars! Before, during, or after your stop at the Inlet Parking Lot and Convention Center in Ocean City, cruise into Pizza Tugos to refuel on pizza and a cold beer. Grab a seat at the bar or take a few pizzas to go, either way you’ll be recharged and ready to hit the road. Pizza and classic cars? Yep, sounds like a pretty perfect weekend to us! What’s better than pizza and classic cars at the beach? Pizza and football at the beach of course. But we’ve got more than just … Continue reading →

Seagull Century returns to the Eastern Shore this Saturday, September 27, bringing upwards of 6,000 cyclists and their families to our area for the 26th anniversary of the Delmarva event. If you haven’t heard of Seagull Century before, it’s a major staple on the Eastern Shore with thousands of bikers training for weeks ahead of time for the epic race. Riders have two options, either the 100-mile or the 62-mile route, each of which leads them across Delmarva and through our area towns and countryside. We don’t know about you guys but cycling that far just makes us want to dig into a piece of pizza, house a sub, or at the very least, enjoy an appetizer or two while sipping a frosty beverage. In celebration of Seagull Century, we encourage all the riders to stop in this weekend for a carb overload or a celebratory drink (craft beer anyone?!?). Friends and family who aren’t … Continue reading →

The rumblings along the highway are a familiar sound this time of year, as thousands of motorcycles ride into town for Delmarva Bike Week and OC Bikefest. At Pizza Tugos, we look forward to the annual Bike Week in Ocean City, particularly as our parking lot transforms into a veritable bike show, chocked full of uniquely impressive motorcycles to ogle over. We welcome and invite our two-wheeling friends to stop in to unwind over a craft beer or to indulge in our menu items. Pizza, subs, salads, calzones, pasta, wings…our expansive menu has it all! Fill up before hitting the road or end your day of riding with us at the bar! Whether you’re cruising around for Bike Week or simply enjoying the transition to fall, we would be amiss if we didn’t take a time-out to celebrate Week Two of the NFL regular season. Last week, the Pizza Tugos bar was a sea of … Continue reading →

It’s Tuesday, which is arguably one of the least notable days of the week…until you realize that it’s Pint Night at Pizza Tugos!! Every Tuesday our bartenders gear up for Pint Night pours, showcasing a different craft beer each week. What’s more, the featured beer is available for just $7 a pint, with $4.99 for refills AND you keep the pint glass. The fun starts at 6pm so we suggest getting a head start on your Pint Night adventures. This week, we’re featuring Brooklyn Sorachi Ace, which can be best described as “sunshine in a glass.” The classic saison is a cracklingly dry, hoppy unfiltered golden farmhouse ale made entirely with Sorachi Ace hops. Sorachi Ace is a particular – and rare – varietal of hops that were first developed in a Japanese brewery in 1988. Known for its lemony smell and crisp flavors, it’s easy to see why it’s dubbed “sunshine in a glass.” … Continue reading →

In case you missed it, we’re pretty excited about football season. So much so that we dedicated the past three blog posts to reveling in all of our football glory. Well, sorry folks, but we here at Pizza Tugos love us some football – partly because we are huge fans and partly because football goes hand and hand with pizza, wings and beer. But what we REALLY love about football season is enjoying it with all of our loyal customers. Football brings a sense of camaraderie (with the exception of some showdowns between opposing fans) that is best enjoyed in the friendly atmosphere of your favorite watering hole. With an expansive list of craft beers, a full bar, and a menu showcasing everything from spinach salads to overstuffed calzones, it’s no wonder Pizza Tugos is primed to be your football headquarters. Whether you’re taking the whole family out or riding solo, Pizza Tugos is the … Continue reading →

He’s baaaaack! That’s right; the Randall is taking over tonight and every other Wednesday night in the Tap Room at Pizza Tugos in West Ocean City. So what is a Randall you ask? Scientifically speaking, it’s an “organoleptic hop transducer module” designed by the masterminds at Dogfish Head. For the rest of us regular, beer drinking folk, it’s a double chamber filter that essentially connects the beer of your choice with flavor-enhancing ingredients. Fruit, spices, herbs…you name it and Randall will infuse your brew with the natural flavors of your liking. You may remember earlier this year when we combined Evolution Craft Brewing Summer Session with oranges, or when we played around with Fin City’s White Marlin Pale Ale with citra, juniper berry and grapefruit. The outcome? Flavor-enhanced craft brews. Doesn’t get much better than that! If you can’t make it to Tugos tonight, have no fear, there’s plenty to celebrate this weekend, including more … Continue reading →
