Santa's Making A Pizza Stop!
2025-12-20 16:00 - 18:00 (America/Denver) | Royal Hotel Pizzaria, 11 Main St, Lava Hot Springs, ID, 83246, United States
SLEIGH BELLS & SMELLS LIKE PIZZA!

Ho ho ho—Santa Claus is crusting into The Royal Pizzaria!
That’s right, the big guy in red is taking a break from the North Pole to deliver some holiday cheer (and maybe steal a slice or two).

December 20, 2025 from 4-6 Santa will be stopping by to say ho-ho-ho, pose for photos, and prove once and for all that pizza is his favorite “elf-approved” fuel.
From reindeer-approved cheese pulls to toppings that are claus-tastic, this is one visit you don’t want to miss-slice.

Bring the kids, bring your appetite, and get ready for a jolly good time that’s totally sauced.
Because when Santa visits The Royal Pizzaria, it’s all about good cheer, great pizza, and extra merry mozzarella.

Royal Pizzaria — where even Santa says, “Now that’s a slice of Christmas!”
