As we officially head into Spring here in Central New York, there are quite a few changes happening at Trapper’s Pizza Pub, and a lot to look forward to, as well. In typical Syracuse fashion, the weather has been all over the place this past week, with temperatures in the 80’s over the weekend. We can look forward to some April showers this upcoming week, but the mild temperatures of Spring should stay strong.
Shaking Things Up
April always brings with it a sense of transformation. It’s a time for Spring cleaning and putting words into action. Here at Trapper’s, we’re coming out of the past Winter with some big plans, and we’re excited to share them with all of you. If you’ve been to Trapper’s Pizza Pub recently, you may have noticed that the restaurant has a fresh, new coat of paint. While the familiar faces of our hand-painted mascots have been a part of the barroom for years, we felt it was time for the restaurant itself to take on a more modern look and feel. We’ll be rolling the rest of the updates out over the next couple of months, so make sure to keep an eye out for more changes to come.
Trapper’s Pizza Pub’s 20th Anniversary
Can you believe that next month is the official 20th Anniversary of Trapper’s Pizza Pub? We’re so grateful to have been a part of this community for the past two decades, and because of this important milestone, we have a lot of exciting plans for the rest of 2021 in the works. It’s also partially why Trapper’s itself is getting a facelift. After 20 years in business, it felt like time to make some aesthetic adjustments. In honor of our anniversary, we’re also putting out a series of blog posts on the history of Trapper’s Pizza Pub, interviews with the people who created, a special conversation with its current owner, and more throughout the month of May. New blog posts drop every Sunday!
The Brand New Trapper’s Volleyball Facebook Group
Warm weather means the first session of Trapper’s Volleyball League is right around the corner, and this year is no different. Unless we hear differently from New York State, Session One is scheduled to begin the week of May 3rd. That’s only three weeks away! If you haven’t signed your team up already, head on over to the Volleyball Page to register today via PayPal. You can also sign up in person at Trapper’s Pizza Pub for a $15 discount.
If you’re interested in joining but aren’t already part of a team, head over to our new Volleyball Facebook Group to connect with others in our volleyball community. This group is meant to be a place for open communication about all things related to the Trapper’s Volleyball League. We encourage everyone involved to join, and we can’t wait for the volleyball season to officially start! Also, if anyone out there is interested in becoming a Moderator for the Facebook Group, send us a DM and we’ll be happy to add you on.
We’re Hiring Pizza Cooks
The last bit of April news is that Trapper’s Pizza Pub is hiring! We’re in need of pizza and grill cooks to join our growing kitchen staff. Ideally, we’re looking for someone (or multiple people) who has experience with both a pizza oven and grill, but for the right person, we’re happy to train in one area or the other. If you’re interested, please send a resumé over to events@trapperspizza.com. If you know someone who would be a great fit for this role, please send them our way!
We’re looking forward to a beautiful Spring and Summer this year. Our patio is open and ready for days when it’s too nice out to eat at your desk, and nights when all you want is to enjoy a margarita with your closest friends. Check back weekly for more news and updates!
