A pizzeria with a decidedly dirty menu is slated to open its second location this week in Hoboken, New Jersey. Tony Boloney’s, currently operating in Atlantic City, could open its new store as soon as today, according to NJ.com, with a grand opening scheduled for Sunday. Tony Boloney’s regular menu is pretty wacky in itself, featuring “indigenous A.C. pizza” with offbeat names like the Jersey Fist-Pump (sliced fennel sausage, green peppers, onions, provolone cheese “and a whole lotta ehh yo”) and the Uncle Jemima (fried chicken, waffles, sharp cheddar and maple syrup). But the shop also gets media attention for its special “erotic menu” that includes a penis-shaped stromboli and pizzas that resemble female breasts. Tony Boloney’s is also locally famous for its food truck, the Mustache Mobile (named for the store’s mustache-wearing mascot), and caters children’s birthday parties with a menu that is, presumably, rated G. Despite its more gimmicky menu items, Tony Boloney's has earned national acclaim for its top-notch grub, garnering coverage on LIVE! with Kelly & Michael, the Food Network and the Travel Channel, to name a few media outlets.

After 38 years in business, Bill Siwicki, owner of the Pizza Works chain in northeastern Ohio, wanted to prove that his company was still innovative by creating a Facebook marketing strategy. The result: a staggering 20% increase in sales. In a recent Saturday night promotion, one location offered a 20% discount to customers who showed up after 7 p.m. in their pajamas. Bounce-Back Wednesday, meanwhile, allows customers to order a pie on a Wednesday and return a week later with their receipt to receive the exact same order for only $1.

Formerly called National Secretaries Week, April 20-26, 2014, is now known as Administrative Professionals Week. And considering that there are more than 4.1 million administrative assistants in the U.S., celebrating their hard work and dedication is a surefire way to build traffic to your pizzeria. Use your website and social media platforms to promote a week-long special targeting administrative professionals, offering a free pizza, a buy-one-get-one-free special, a $25 gift card for a future visit or some other incentive. Encourage employers to bring their administrative professionals to your pizzeria for special discounts. Wine specials are always a nice touch! To grab attention, design and post an ad written in shorthand (look for samples on Google) and place a translation of the ad beside it. Start posting it two weeks prior to the promotion and continue posting it periodically during Administrative Professionals Week. Late April may be two months away, but now is the time to start planning for this promotion!
