Sonson’s Pasty Co. has kicked off 2021 with a variety of new initiatives, including a brand-new patio just in time for Arizona’s spring weather.
The new outdoor dining space features flower beds, benches, and seating, as well as umbrellas and new signage.
For those who would like to take their pasties to go, the restaurant now offers online ordering in addition to call ahead ordering for its ready-to-eat, take and bake, and frozen pasties and desserts.
“We have a brand-new website and you can now order and pay online, and if you want to pick up curbside you can do that. It’s so much more convenient for the customers now, which is a great thing,” said owner Julie Mercer.
In addition to the traditional pasties — which include favorites such as the ground beef and steak — Sonson’s Pasty Co. has also launched a creative new menu program where employees submit their creations to be added to the menu each month.
The program kicked off last month with the Sloppy Joe and chicken ranch pasty, both of which were met with lots of enthusiasm from pasty-loving customers.
“They get an incentive for every one that they sell,” said Julie. “They’ve stuck with me since the beginning, most of them, and through COVID it was a tough time, but they’ve stuck it out and have been right there. They don’t let me down, so I wanted to give them something more.”
March’s employee creations are a special St. Patrick’s Day pasty as well as a beef taco pasty.
Diners can also look forward to Sonson’s Pasty Co.’s delicious lineup of rotating desserts. Carrot cake, chocolate cake and the turnovers are always on the menu, but guests will also enjoy fun seasonal flavors like the blueberry lemon cake.
For International Women’s Day on March 8, the restaurant has partnered with another woman-owned business, Milo’s Famous Sweet Tea, to give each customer a gallon of All Natural Sweet Tea or Milo’s Famous All Natural Lemonade with all purchases of $10 or more on that day only.
