On the Menu: The latest on Hank's Pizza Mac, Butch's deli, Chicken Salad Chick
Swing-In Pizza officially became Hank's Pizza Mac on Jan. 14 and updated its menu. Customers still can order pizza and stromboli sandwiches, including the popular original strom made with sausage, onions, mozzarella and pizza sauce, with a side of sweet pickles, and the barbecue strom.
General manager Nasya Armes said the supreme pizza, another favorite, remains the same. However, the sizes of pizzas have changed. New sizes are small (for 1-2 people), medium (10-inch, 2-3 people) and large (14-inch, 3-5 people).
New to the menu are mac bowls, which all have a base of mac and cheese. Specialty bowls are chicken bacon ranch; Throwback mac, with sliced hot dogs; Polynesian mac, with chicken, jalapenos and a drizzle of sweet Thai sauce; Southwest mac, with white cheddar cheese, pulled pork, pico de gallo, sour cream and taco seasoning; and Memphis mac, with pulled pork, chicken or brisket added to red onion and barbecue sauce.
Tot bowls, each beginning with crispy tater tots, include Kitchen Sink Tots, with nacho cheese, pulled pork, sour cream, bacon, jalapenos and black olives; Blazin Buffalo Tots, with chicken, red onion, mozzarella, ranch drizzle and buffalo sauce drizzle; and Loaded Tot Bowl, with shredded cheddar cheese, bacon and sour cream.
Hank's Pizza Mac is open for lunch and dinner for dine-in, delivery and carry-out. Hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.

Wings, both bone-in and boneless; gyros; Philly sandwiches; soups; hot subs; and deli sandwiches are available, as are burgers, wraps and grilled chicken sandwiches.
