Lunch time inspo!

Charlotte understood the assignment. 🍔🍕🔥

Two local legends just teamed up for the ultimate flavor mashup. Harriet’s Hamburgers x King of Fire Pizza are serving up limited-time specials that bring the best of both worlds together.

From Honey Pie Cheese Curds topped with pepperoni cups and hot honey to the Pizza Royale loaded with smash burger favorites on a wood-fired pie… this collab is bold, creative, and seriously crave-worthy.
