I’ve been wanting to do Pizza for a while, and this month is it. Lansky’s features several specialty
pizzas priced (for a personal pizza) from $6.10 to $8.00. These include the “Meyer’s Combo” with
almost everything, Chicken Alfredo, Buffalo Chicken, Chicken Pesto, Philly Steak, Veggie Supreme,

each topping $.50 or a giant for $15.10 and each topping $1.50.
Lansky’s also offers Calzones and several different Philly Steak sandwiches. The Calzones are all
under $7.00 and include Grilled Chicken, Hamburger, Vegetable, Italian Sausage and Cheese. The Philly
Steaks include the regular or a chicken Philly with the option of adding ingredients to make it your own.
The Phillies range from $4.65 for a small plain sandwich to $8.35 for a Giant Philly with grilled onions,
mushrooms and green peppers. They also have specialty sandwiches including a Reuben, French Dip, Applewood
Smoked Turkey and, of course, Italian meatball. These range in price from $5.10 to $8.45.
The restaurant offers a variety of pasta dishes including Baked Chicken Alfredo; Lasagna; a Beer Cheese
Lasagna; the “Marco Polo,” linguine topped with grilled steak and mushrooms, marinara and mozzarella; and,
of course, spaghetti and meatballs. The pasta dishes are priced from about $5.00 to $9.00. Starters or sides
include French fries, onion rings, deep fried ravioli, and garlic toast all priced between $3.00 and $7.00.
This should be a fun, casual evening. Please make reservations with Diana Vogt no later

We are in the Regency Professional Plaza, Suite 200, 2nd floor. From the north,
take Regency Parkway south. You will pass Whole Foods, the Regency
Shopping Center, Fleming's Steakhouse and the Enterprise Bank building.
Just south of the Enterprise Bank building is a driveway on the right which
will take you directly into the parking lot. From the south, take Pacific
to Regency Parkway, then turn right on Regency Parkway and get in the left
lane. Go past the first stoplight and there is a left turn lane at the
next intersection. US Bank will be on your left. Turn left onto Regency
Parkway Drive and then immediately right and follow Regency Parkway Drive to
the building. (Note: some GPS maps have the building on the wrong side of
Regency Parkway, so use these directions.) You should enter using the outside
door on the north side of the building. If you come in the south side of the
building just follow the hallway through the building until you get to the
elevator/north staircase. Office suite 200 is on the second floor. If you
arrive late and the office suite door is locked, phone someone in Ex-comm to be
let in. For more information, contact Kirk Johnson, 712-323-1454, cell
