To say that we're big fans of STRFKR is an understatement. We've been obsessed with them for more than 10 years now, so it’s safe to say we know their music pretty well. We love their distinct synth sound, we love their lyrics, and we love that their music has the power to make you dance or calm you down. Truly, STRFKR just keeps getting better and better.

One thing that has solidified our love for them over and over again is seeing them live. We had the best time throwing a Little Pizza Party with them earlier on in April, where Josh was accompanied by yeemz on the cello. It was one of those performances you wish you could relive over and over, one that you wish more people could experience. 

And now you can! We're pleased to announce STRFKR will be joining us for our first full-size Pizza Party of the year!

Join us on Wednesday, May 20, at Paulie Gee's Logan Square, where we'll enjoy a super special, intimate solo performance from STRFKR accompanied by Hartstrings Ensemble, and eat unlimited Paulie Gee's pizza together with all of you!

It isn’t every day that you come across an artist whose music makes you feel truly seen. Madi Diaz is a one-in-a-generation songwriter. She is the kind of artist who writes for those who feel profoundly, and whose words have a way of perfectly capturing the emotions you could never quite name.

Her album Fatal Optimist might be her most honest yet. We waited with anticipation for the release of her latest album, Enema of the Garden State, and let us tell you, it did not disappoint. 

Join us on Saturday, May 23, at Rivian Nashville, where we'll enjoy a special, stripped-down solo performance from Madi, eat some delicious pizza, and experience what will be an unforgettable night! This party is driven by Rivian with support from Shure, Open Water, Manufactur, Tip Top Cocktails, and Partiful.

Free with RSVP on Partiful, and you’ll get a notification if you're on the list! Passes include unlimited pizza, free drinks, and an intimate 20 minute performance.

We’re asking for suggested donations to The Nature Conservancy, and have an auction to raise even more money, offering guaranteed entry, 15 minute hang with Madi, a signed record, and Shure AONIC 50 Gen 2 headphones worth $350 value. Bid here!

If you haven't heard of Bartees Strange yet, consider this your sign to change that. They're the rare kind of artist who can make you laugh, make you feel deeply, and make you want to listen and admire the same song over and over again.

What makes them so special is that none of it ever feels forced. The genre-bending, the emotion, the lyrics that hit a little too close to home, all of it feels completely natural, like he couldn't make music any other way. Bartees 2025 album Horror is a perfect example: it's raw, it's honest, and it has a way of putting words to the things you didn't know you were carrying around.

If you haven't seen Bartees Strange live yet, that's your homework, and we can help with that! 

Join us on Saturday, May 9, at Rivian Atlanta, where we'll get to hear a special, intimate performance from Bartees, munch on some Glide pizza, and enjoy what will be a night to remember! This party is driven by Rivian with support from Shure, Open Water, Manufactur, Tip Top Cocktails, and Partiful.

Free with RSVP on Partiful, and you’ll get a notification if you're on the list! Passes include unlimited pizza, free drinks, and an intimate 4 song performance.

We'll be taking a suggested donation for The Nature Conservancy, and have an auction to raise even more money, offering guaranteed entry, 15 minute hang with Bartees, a signed merch item, and Shure AONIC 50 Gen 2 headphones ($350 value). Bid here!

We can't wait to see you there ❤️

There's truly nothing like an artist whose music has been with you through every stage of life. Maybe you found solace in their music during your awkward phase or through your angsty phase until now, well into adulthood. The Starting Line is that type of band for us. We were super fans back in high school, and we're proud to say we're still super fans now. One of our favorite things about The Starting Line is that they have a song for every mood you're in. Whether you're happy and want to enjoy an incredible guitar solo from Mike Golla, or are in your feels, and want the comfort of Ken's voice, or something in between, there are plenty of songs for you. 

In 2025, we threw a Pizza Party with Ken Vasoli to celebrate the release of their new album, Eternal Youth, which had us completely in our feels. It was the nostalgia but also the newness of it all, that a band that means so much to us is still making music. Now, a whole new generation gets to enjoy their music alongside us. This is exactly why we're so thrilled to announce The Wild Honey Pie Little Pizza Party with The Starting Line! 

Join us Saturday, May 2, at Rivian Roslyn, where we'll be enjoying Rosa's pizza and taking in some good music! The party is driven by Rivian with support from Shure, Open Water, Manufactur, Tip Top Cocktails, and Partiful.

Free with RSVP on Partiful, and you’ll get a notification if you get on the list!

Passes include unlimited Rosa's pizza, free drinks, and an intimate 4 song set. We’re asking for a suggested donation to The Nature Conservancy, and have a charity auction to raise even more money; offering 2 tickets, 15 minute hang with Ken Vasoli, and Shure AONIC 50 Gen 2 headphones ($350 value). Bid here!

Can't wait to see you all there!

When a poet becomes a musician, the proof is in the writing. Kara Jackson is a rare kind of artist who got her start as a poet before becoming a recording artist. That background bleeds into every song she writes, and her voice carries a richness and weight that stops you in your tracks.

Her debut album, Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love? radiates a warmth and vulnerability that allows people from every walk of life to connect with it. Her folk, jazz, and soul influences weave together to create a listening experience rich with complexity (and above all, fun). 

Join us Saturday, April 25, at Rivian Chicago, where we'll be enjoying Paulie Gee's pizza and taking in the sweet vocals of Kara Jackson. The party is driven by Rivian with support from Shure, Open Water, Manufactur, Tip Top Cocktails, and Partiful.

Free with RSVP on Partiful, and you’ll get a notification if you get on the list!

Passes include unlimited Paulie Gee's pizza, free drinks, and an intimate 4 song set.
