The community can once again enjoy their two-decades old promo that everyone loves the \u201cbuy one take one pizza for free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe is still our rule, buy one large pizza, get a free single topping medium pizza for free. We\u2019ve recently added the option to get any free appetizers instead of the free medium pizza\u2026 American Pizza &amp; Grill was established in 1990 as Bobby Cadillac\u2019s but the owner left Saipan. We took over and retained workers and the same food,\u201d said AP&amp;G authorized representative John Lee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe offer soul food that has been maintained for 30 years. Many people try our pizza, fried chicken, and burgers when they were young so there\u2019s a certain nostalgic longing for our food that is hard to replace,\u201d Lee added<\/p>\n<p>Lee and management felt that re-opening American Pizza &amp; Grill was something they owe to their employees and loyal customers. \u201cWe closed due to government restrictions arising out of COVID-19. We still are not allowed to offer dine-in service. But since we are the face of Garapan, we feel the need give hours to our workers and push forward. Closing business indefinitely is not a solution to this crisis,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe fortunately have a good ratio of local and tourist customers. Although there are  currently no tourists, re-opening may not be profitable, but we feel that due to our location at the entrance of Garapan, we represent Garapan. That\u2019s the main reason we are opening\u2014to bring a sense of normalcy in this surreal situation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>American Pizza &amp; Grill is open for take-out only, Monday to Sunday from 11:30am to 6pm. Customers can order anything on the menu and expect fresh dough and ingredients as they are prepared every day.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, call (670) 233-1180 or (670) 287-5435 and visit their Facebook page: American Pizza &amp; Grill Saipan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American Pizza &amp; Grill in Garapan re-opened this week after more than a month hiatus&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":322385,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-322384","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322384"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322384\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322385"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322384"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322384"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
