Goldbelly Pizza Subscription

View On Goldbelly.com

For the couple that loves great food, Goldbelly makes a slew of delicious gift baskets and subscriptions, which have been tested and loved by editors at The Spruce. For a monthly fee, your designated recipients will receive Goldbelly’s hand-selected pizzas from the best pizzerias nationwide—from the likes of Chicago’s Gino’s East to Brooklyn’s Coal Oven to Nebraska’s Unique Rocket Inn and more.

Our tester found the options were unique finds from local businesses across the country, and that anyone interested could search the site by diet to find the samplers they could most easily enjoy. On the downside, the lack of guarantee on shipping guidelines was a slight disappointment. Overall, however, our tester determined that Goldbelly’s tasty gifts are extremely diverse and can satisfy almost any type of customer. (Keep in mind, these could make great anniversary gifts, too).
