![]() | Tidbit of the Week: Shame? It's something I’ve pretty much grown out of since starting Check What’s Good. Here is 🎬 Take 40 🎬 of opening a delicious box of Wheelz Pizza for a video while people stare. P.S. If you see Wheelz Pizza pull up to an event… you’re in for a real treat! They brought in a Dough Master (yes, that’s a full-time job), and took 2 years to master their recipe! Talk about putting your heart and soul into something. |
