The La Pizza Rina Super Sub (6 inch), especially the Roast Beef & Provolone Cheese sub, is a fulfilling option that pairs wonderfully with their refreshing soda selections, including a nostalgic Root Beer Soda. For those who savor bold, layered tastes, the Deep Dish Pizza featuring hamburger and turkey toppings offers an indulgent, robust experience.
