🦃🍷 THANKSGIVING IS COMING! ARE YOU READY FOR THE TURKEY TOURNAMENT?

The big Turkey Day is fast approaching!

Do you know what w**e to bring to Thanksgiving dinner? What should you serve with the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and all those wonderful family favorites?

Well, let's find out!

🍂 THIRD THURSDAY TASTING — THE THANKSGIVING TURKEY TOURNAMENT!

Now, am I going to knock your socks off with some amazing new recipes for turkey and all the sides?

Nope.

Your family's favorite recipes are probably still the best. And I'm not about to tell Grandma how to make her stuffing.

What we're going to explore is something a little different.

WHICH W**E GOES BEST WITH THANKSGIVING DINNER?

A red w**e?

NO! NO! NO!

Well... maybe a Pinot Noir.

But generally speaking, with turkey and all those wonderful sides, white w**es have a lot going for them.

Who knew?

So we've got the color figured out. Or at least we think we do.

But WHICH WHITE W**E?

That's where you come in.

🏆 WELCOME TO THE TURKEY TOURNAMENT!

Seven white w**es enter the competition, with a sparkling w**e to kick off the evening.

We'll begin with a little bubbly and a relish tray.

Then the games begin!

ROUND ONE — VEGETARIAN THANKSGIVING

We'll start with some Thanksgiving flavors, minus Tom Turkey himself.

Two w**es. One plate.

Taste the food. Taste the w**es.

Which one works better?

Then we'll add more food to the plate and bring out the next pair of w**es.

As the tournament progresses, the plates get bigger, the flavors get more complicated, and the decisions get more interesting.

Eventually, turkey joins the party.

And then the pies!

Because what would Thanksgiving be without pie?

🍷 NOW HERE'S WHERE THINGS GET INTERESTING.

You might absolutely LOVE one of the w**es.

You take a sip.

Wonderful!

Then you take a bite of stuffing, a little turkey, maybe some gravy.

Another sip.

Hmm.

Not quite what you expected.

So you try the other w**e.

Well, would you look at that!

You didn't like that w**e nearly as much by itself, but with the food?

It's amazing!

So what do you vote for?

Your favorite w**e?

Or the w**e that makes Thanksgiving dinner taste better?

That's entirely up to you.

And what happens to the w**es that don't advance?

Well, whatever is left in those bottles is still available to enjoy.

Hmm.

DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME? 😈

Round after round, we'll taste, compare, discuss, and vote until the group crowns one w**e the Thanksgiving champion.

King Turkey!

No, that doesn't sound quite right.

One Hell of a Turkey W**e!

Hmm. Not sure that works either.

Marketing turkey is almost as difficult as marketing yak.

Anyway...

ONE W**E WILL BE CROWNED THE 2026 THANKSGIVING TURKEY TOURNAMENT CHAMPION! 🏆

And the best part?

You'll have helped choose it.

🍾 AND YOU CAN TAKE YOUR FAVORITES HOME!

You may already know about our w**e stock-up special.

Buy six or more bottles and get $5 off each bottle.

But for everyone participating in the Turkey Tournament, we're doing something special.

Every tournament w**e qualifies for $5 OFF PER BOTTLE, REGARDLESS OF QUANTITY!

Buy one. Buy three. Buy six.

Take home the tournament champion, or choose the w**e YOU thought deserved to win.

After all, you're the one who knows who's coming to Thanksgiving dinner.

And wouldn't it be nice to serve a w**e that you've actually tasted with the foods you're going to eat?

🍂 THERE'S A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

Family. Friends. Good food. Good company.

And perhaps knowing that the w**e you bring to Thanksgiving dinner is going to be enjoyed rather than quietly abandoned in a glass.

That's what this tasting is all about.

Not telling you what you should like.

Discovering what YOU like, and what tastes best with the food.

🍗🍕 A PIDE WITH GRAVY ON TOP?

You spend four days cooking and preparing, and THIS is the best you can come up with?

Seriously? What kind of special is this?

Well, let me tell you a little story.

Introducing the TURKEY POT PIDE!

This is the third year I've attempted to make this particular pide.

I've had the concept in my head since I opened Pide Pizzeria. But not once, in all that time, have I managed to produce something I was happy enough with to put on the menu.

Until now.

This one finally brings it all together.

So what's in it?

Why, all the goodness of Thanksgiving, my dear friend!

🦃 Turkey
🥔 Mashed potatoes
🍞 Stuffing
🟢 Peas
🌽 Corn
🧀 Cheese
And a creamy turkey sauce.

All piled onto a pide crust and baked together.

Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Well, here's the funny part.

Without the gravy, it's actually kind of bland.

Oh, it's hearty. It's filling. It's got all those wonderful Thanksgiving ingredients.

But something was missing.

THE GRAVY!

Not just any gravy.

A turkey and thyme gravy, made without thickeners. It's rather runny, actually, but that's intentional.

Pour it over the pide and suddenly everything comes together.

The turkey, the stuffing, the potatoes, the vegetables, the creamy sauce, the cheese, the crust...

And that savory turkey-thyme gravy brings it all to life.

Now we're talking!

Is it low calorie?

Oh, heavens no. 😂

There are enough calories in this thing to keep you going for quite a while.

But there's also plenty to stick to your ribs.

And sometimes, especially as the weather turns colder, that's exactly what sounds good.

To me, this is comfort food.

Good. Hearty. Flavorful.

The kind of meal that makes you want to sit down, take your time, and enjoy every bite.

It took three years of trying to get the concept right, and several days of preparation to make this batch.

And after all that work?

I'm putting gravy on a pide.

Go figure.

It only took me three years to figure it out.

🍸 WHO'S UP FOR SOME MARTINIS AND A NIGHT OF RELAXING FUN?

Tonight, Pide Pizzeria is holding its very first Fourth Saturday Celebration!

Once a month, on the fourth Saturday, we're going to do something a little different.

Tonight, it's MARTINIS! 🍸

We've selected five very different martinis for you to explore.

🍋 Lemon Drop Martini — Bright, lively, refreshingly tart. A little sweetness, a little pucker, and a whole lot of lemon.

🤍 White Velvet Martini — White chocolate, vanilla cream, vodka, and amaretto. Smooth, rich, indulgent, and maybe a little dangerous.

💙 Blue Melon Martini — Colorful, fruity, and refreshingly playful. Melon sweetness meets lively citrus.

🌽 Audubon Martini — Our own little Iowa creation. Vodka, Manzanilla sherry, and a touch of pickled baby-corn brine. Dry, savory, and definitely something different.

☕ Kona Coffee Martini — Rich Kona coffee liqueur, vodka, and a touch of vanilla cream, finished with three Sumatra dark roast coffee beans.

Five martinis. Five very different experiences.

Which one sounds like you?

Or perhaps you'll discover that the one you thought you'd never like turns out to be your favorite.

🍕 AND WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE KITCHEN?

We'll have a few new food items on the menu tonight, too.

Some things you haven't seen before. Some combinations we thought might be fun to try.

That's part of what we enjoy doing at Pide. Taking ingredients, putting them together, and seeing what happens when the flavors meet.

And you know how our specials work.

When they're gone, they're gone.

🍸 SO WHAT EXACTLY IS A FOURTH SATURDAY CELEBRATION?

It's an excuse to get out of the house.

That's really about it.

You don't need a special occasion. You don't need to dress up. You don't need to bring a crowd.

Come alone. Come with someone. Bring a few friends.

Find a seat. Order something interesting. Have a conversation. Play a game. Relax.

Maybe try a martini you've never had before.

Maybe discover something new from the kitchen.

Maybe just enjoy an evening where nobody is in a particular hurry.

We're not trying to turn every Saturday into the same thing.

One night a month. Something a little different.

And tonight is our first.

Will it be a success? Will we discover a new favorite? Will somebody have a great story to tell tomorrow?

Hard to say.

A lot depends on who shows up.

How about you?

🍸 FOURTH SATURDAY MARTINI NIGHT

📅 Tonight — Saturday, October 24
📍 Pide Pizzeria
216 Broadway Street, Audubon
☎️ 712-563-3103

Martinis available to guests 21 and older.

Come in. Hang out. Enjoy something different.

Sometimes that's all you need for a good Saturday night.

10/16/2026

TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! LET'S DANCE! 💃🕺

The first Friday Night Dance at Pide Pizzeria!

🎶 9 PM to Midnight

Tonight we're doing something a little different.

We're turning Pide into a place to get together, enjoy some music, meet people, and most importantly, DANCE!

You don't need to bring a partner.

Really. You don't.

Dancing alone is perfectly acceptable. Besides, with most of the dance styles from the '70s and '80s, it's pretty hard to tell who's dancing with whom anyway.

So get out there and groove!

We'll be playing dance music from the '70s and '80s, along with some newer dance music and electronic beats.

Dress comfortably. This isn't a fashion show. Wear something you can move in, because the idea is to have fun.

🍕 WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE KITCHEN?

Last night we had a wonderful Third Thursday Tasting, and tonight there will be a few special things on the board.

And you know how that works at Pide.

When they're gone, they're gone.

🌿 TONIGHT'S SPECIAL NON-MEAT PIDE!

B**r cheese sauce. Seared king mushroom medallions. Sautéed onions.

That's it.

Alone, none of these ingredients is particularly special.

But put them together on a pide?

Something amazing happens.

The richness of the b**r cheese, the meaty texture of the seared mushrooms, and the sweetness of the sautéed onions come together to create something far greater than the individual ingredients.

Sometimes the simplest combinations are the ones that surprise you the most.

And tonight, you can discover this one for yourself.

We'll also have a limited dance-night menu, with food chosen to work well with the evening.

Pides are especially good for this. They fit the smaller table spaces, they're easy to share, and you can enjoy a few pieces before heading back out to dance.

Full pizzas will be available for takeout only tonight.

🍷 AND WHAT ARE WE DRINKING?

We'll have a smaller drink menu tonight too, with refreshing choices that go well with dancing and the food we're serving.

And two w**e slushies!

🍎 APPLE PIE — That wonderful apple pie flavor with a buttery crust note at the finish.

❄️ REFRESHINGLY DRY — Something a little different for those who prefer a drier, refreshing drink.

Different w**es. Different slushies. Different experiences.

W**e slushies are for guests 21 and older.

🎵 NOW, ABOUT GETTING OUT AND DANCING...

I know it takes a little effort.

You finish your day. You get comfortable. Maybe you sit down and think about going out.

And then you start coming up with reasons to stay home.

But there's something about music and dancing.

Once you're out there, the rest of the world gets a little smaller.

For a few minutes, you're not thinking about tomorrow, what happened at work, or what needs to get done.

There's just the music, the movement, and the moment.

And everybody gets to have their own moment.

You don't have to be a great dancer. You don't need a partner. You don't even need to know what you're doing.

Just come willing to have a little fun.

🪩 FRIDAY NIGHT DANCE — TONIGHT!

🕘 9 PM – Midnight
📍 Pide Pizzeria
216 Broadway Street, Audubon

Come alone. Come with friends. Come to dance.

Or just come see what happens when we turn a pizzeria into a dance floor.

The hardest part might be getting yourself out the door.

After that?

Let the music take over. 🎶

10/13/2026

🍂🍕 WELCOME TO IOWA IN THE FALL!

The cooler weather is here.

And you know what sounds good when the temperature starts dropping?

Pizza.

Maybe it's been a while since you've had one. Maybe you've been thinking about it but haven't quite made it through the door.

Well, here's something to think about.

🧅 The French Onion Pide is BACK!

Rich, savory, and just right for those cooler days and evenings.

Our Burnt Ends Pide seems to fit this time of year too. Something about smoky, hearty flavors and autumn weather just works.

Meatlovers? Always a favorite.

Or maybe tonight you're in the mood for something simple. A one-topping pizza. Nothing fancy. Just good pizza.

Yeah, that sounds pretty good too.

🍷 COOLER WEATHER MEANS RED W**E?

That's what a lot of people seem to think.

And I get it.

There's something about a cool evening that makes a glass of red w**e sound especially inviting.

Fortunately, we've got plenty to choose from.

And speaking of w**e...

🌧️ THURSDAY'S HARVEST TASTING

The forecast says rain on Thursday.

Bring it.

We'll be inside, where the pizza oven keeps the room warm and the company can relax and chill.

The kitchen will be busy, the w**e will be flowing, and with a little luck, good times will follow.

After all, a rainy evening can be a pretty good excuse to spend a couple of hours with good food, good w**e, and interesting people.

🍎 THIS WEEK'S W**E SLUSHIE: APPLE PIE!

Yes, Apple Pie.

And no, sorry kids. This one's for the grown-ups. You must be 21.

The name came from something rather interesting.

There's a buttery pie-crust flavor that shows up right at the finish.

Take a sip and see if you notice it.

Now, unlike most things we serve, this slushie doesn't pair particularly well with most pizzas.

Wings? Yes.

Steak? Yes.

Pizza? Not so much.

But there's an easy solution.

Have the Apple Pie slushie while you wait for your pizza, then switch to water with dinner.

Problem solved.

🍺 AND THEN THERE'S HARD APPLE C***R...

Cool weather and hard apple c***r.

Now there's a combination.

Unlike the Apple Pie slushie, our hard c***r goes with just about everything on the menu.

A nice goblet of c***r alongside a hot pizza or pide?

That sounds like a pretty good autumn dinner to me.

So here we are.

Cooler weather. Shorter days. Hot pizza. Red w**e. Apple Pie slushies. Hard c***r.

Welcome to fall in Iowa.

Come in, grab a seat, and enjoy the evening.

Sometimes the best part of a cool day is finding someplace warm to spend the evening.

10/10/2026

🍂🍕 IT'S BACK! OKTOBERFEST PIDE!

Mushroom b**r cheese sauce. Polish sausage. Onions. Peppers.

Put them together on a pide and you have our Oktoberfest Pide!

Once available only during special tastings, it's now earned a permanent place on the Pide Pizzeria menu.

And it's not the only old favorite making a comeback.

🧅 FRENCH ONION PIDE IS BACK TOO!

These flavors, along with plenty of other favorites, are waiting for you at Pide tonight.

We've changed the menu, but only in good ways.

Gone is the long list. In its place is something with a little more depth. More opportunities to explore different combinations of bread, sauces and toppings. More chances to discover something you didn't even know you were hungry for.

Because sometimes what sounds good for dinner isn't what sounded good yesterday.

I've noticed something interesting over the years. The temperature and humidity outside seem to have an effect on what people order.

A cold, damp evening brings out different appetites than a warm, sunny afternoon. Sometimes you want something rich and hearty. Other times something lighter sounds just right.

And sometimes you see a combination on the menu and think, I wonder what that tastes like?

That's part of the fun.

So here we are, with a beautiful day outside, a new menu to explore, and a couple of old favorites back where they belong.

I wonder what you'll order tonight?

10/08/2026

🍂🍷 ONE WEEK TO GO! THE HARVEST TABLE IS COMING!

Thursday, October 15 • 7:00 PM

The High Table is SOLD OUT, but there is still room at the Harvest Table! Just 18 seats, and that is a hard limit.

If you've been to our Third Thursday Tastings before, you know we like doing things differently. In fact, the Third Thursday is different every month.

And this month, we're going to let you help decide what's coming out of the kitchen!

🍕 WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO MAKE?

Tell us in the comments!

Have a favorite dish? A recipe you've always loved? An unusual combination of ingredients you think would be delicious?

Let us know. Better yet, share the recipe!

If we have the ingredients, we might just make it. We may have to adapt it to our kitchen, but hey, that's the kind of thing we enjoy doing.

If your suggestion doesn't make it onto the Harvest Table, we'll tell you why.

There are, however, two rules.

No Jell-O dishes. Sorry. Just no.

And no fruitcakes either.

A pide with your favorite toppings? Absolutely!

Our available sauces include French onion, b**r cheese, mushroom and red. BBQ and ranch are also readily available.

A pide has eight pieces. When those eight pieces are gone, they're gone.

And that brings us to one of the biggest themes of Pide Pizzeria:

When it's gone, it's gone.

🍷 NOW, ABOUT THOSE W**ES...

We're planning on approximately 30 w**es to choose from.

There might be a couple of duplicates, but don't count on it.

You'll find:

W**es that earned Wedding Bells at previous Third Thursday Tastings.

W**es that are completely new.

W**es that are down to their very last bottle.

And one or two w**es that are there for absolutely no good reason at all.

You'll choose one bottle to be your w**e date for the evening.

But don't block somebody else's choice. Part of the fun is discovering what everyone else picked!

Will our returning guests choose a w**e they previously gave Wedding Bells? Or will they take a chance on somebody new?

Hard to say.

And here's where things get interesting.

You can share tastes. You can negotiate. You can trade w**e dates.

Even the staff hosting the evening will choose bottles and be willing to share and trade.

As for displaying the w**es, I might put all 30 bottles on the bar so everyone can see them.

Or I might leave them in the w**e rack.

I rather like the idea of hunting through the rack for that special bottle.

We'll see.

🍽️ MEANWHILE, THE KITCHEN WILL BE BUSY!

We'll be making small dishes throughout the evening, bringing them out to the Harvest Table as they're ready.

Some familiar. Some experimental. Some inspired by your suggestions.

And some that might never be made again.

To us, the fun is putting something on the Harvest Table that disappears almost as quickly as we set it down.

If you like something, grab a taste while it's there!

🍂 COME CELEBRATE THE HARVEST WITH US!

📅 Thursday, October 15
🕖 7:00 PM sharp
🍷 Harvest Table — 18 guests maximum

The High Table is sold out. Harvest Table seats are still available!

And while you're thinking about joining us, tell us something...

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE KITCHEN TO MAKE?

Put your suggestions and recipes in the comments. Let's see what ends up on the Harvest Table!

Pide Pizzeria — When it's gone, it's gone.

10/06/2026

SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT PIZZA.

With all the w**e we've been talking about lately, it might be easy to forget the name on the door is Pide Pizzeria.

We make pizza. We make pides. We make wings and a few other things. And we have a new menu that makes finding what you want a little easier.

We're not a chain, and we're not trying to compete with the gas station down the road. If what you want is inexpensive pizza that's ready fast, they've got that figured out.

We do something different.

For us, pizza is bread, sauce and toppings coming together to make something worth sitting down for. Sometimes that's a familiar combination. Sometimes it's something you probably haven't tried on a pizza before.

That's also why we have the smaller pide size. Two people don't have to agree on one big pizza. Try a couple different things. Share them. Find a new favorite.

And yes, sometimes you order exactly the right amount and nothing is left.

But this is pizza.

Taking home a little box to raid the refrigerator later is practically part of the experience.

So after a day at work and an afternoon enjoying this beautiful weather, you don't necessarily have to figure out dinner.

Come in as the sun is going down. Pick something up to take home, or grab a seat and stay awhile.

Your pizza isn't going to appear 90 seconds after you order it. It takes a little time to make.

Fortunately, we have distractions.

Try a peg puzzle. Play a game of chess. Shoot some pool. Find the arcade machine. Grab a deck of cards. Talk to the person sitting across from you.

Or don't do much of anything.

Sometimes a comfortable chair, some background music and a slower pace are exactly what you need.

Most nights, the guy who greets you at the door, takes your order and disappears into the kitchen is also the guy making your dinner.

That's Pide Pizzeria.

Stop in. Say hi. Have some pizza. Stay awhile.

And if you're really in a hurry?

The gas station is pretty fast.

10/05/2026

Apparently the w**e rack has been decorating for Halloween too.
We were looking through the bottles and realized we had quite the cast of characters hiding in there.
Freak of Nature. Jawbreaker. Chinon. Vinum. Monte Volpe.
And no, we didn't dress them up for the picture. Those really are the labels.
Five w**es. Five very different personalities. All priced to make it pretty easy to pick one for the table—or take one home for your own Halloween gathering.
Come see what's haunting the w**e rack at Pide.
When they're gone, they're gone.
