Pizza pick-up & delivery

A pizza restaurant in Arlington Heights needs a website that's mouthwatering, easy to navigate, and built for quick local orders. Here's how the design should come together:

1. Localized Homepage

• Hero Banner: A mouthwatering shot of your best pizza—think gooey cheese, fresh toppings—with a location-specific tagline like “Arlington Heights’ Favorite Slice”.

2. Navigation Menu

• Fixed top bar with categories:
  Home
  Menu
  Order Online

3. Menu & Product Showcase

• Category Tabs: Pizza (by size/styles), Wings, Sides, Drinks, Desserts.

• Filter Options: Dietary filters (vegetarian, gluten-free), toppings, pizza sizes.

• Each item displays:
  High-resolution images
  Descriptions with toppings, size options, and pricing
  Add to Cart button

4. Online Ordering Experience
