After “begging” from customers, Stensland Family Farms has stocked its freezers with almond patties and cinnamon rolls from Casey’s Bakery.

It’s “a different-style supreme” with pepperoni, sausage, salami, banana peppers and green olives. There are a half-dozen specialty pizzas or order a cheese and pick your toppings. Other additions to the late-night menu, which is served from 8 p.m. to midnight, include a burger and Hot Chicken Bites.
