These guys have always taken care of me. It definitely won’t be the same, but I can’t wait to see what magic the new family brings.

Hey Friends, just a quick update. Due to health issues and not being able to put my all in, I’m having to step back from the business.

Don’t worry though Lil’ Devil’s will continue to serve up the same delicious food you’re accustomed to, but now you’ll be in the awesome hands of a local family, The Houdes!

While this may be a surprise to some, I hope that you will give them a chance! We've been training them in our ways, and they'll keep the Lil' Devil's magic going strong!

We are back open tomorrow normal hours!
🫶🏼🍕

Snow in the Witch City

Huge shout-out to the Township of Salem Police Department (PA) for sending me this awesome late Christmas package! They hooked me up with some really cool patches (including one that glows in the dark!), a challenge coin, and a holiday card.

Meanwhile, the only thing Salem, MA police have ever given me were tickets… and not the kind to a concert. (Kidding, kidding! Much love to Salem MA Police)

I might need to take a road trip up there soon to visit—and maybe even do one of my live streams walking around town!

Thank you again to Salem Township PD for the awesome gift!

P.S. Fun fact—these patches and the challenge coin were actually made right here in Salem, MA by Ghost Patch, which is just down the street from the Wicked Salem office! Small world!

A perfect day for Salem's So Sweet !!! The last of the ice sculptures are getting installed this morning, should all be in place by noon, and illuminated tonight.

Lovely and cold for the ice sculptures, still nice enough to walk around and enjoy all the great shopping and dining in downtown Salem today! VERY likely we'll be seeing lots of snow tonight into tomorrow, so get out there today to do all your Valentine's shopping and play the Chocolate Hearts challenge.
