Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk has teamed up with Pizza Guys, a Sacramento-based pizza franchise known for its fresh, high-quality offerings, to launch the “Malik Monk Special” in celebration of the basketball season. This collaboration, part of Monk’s brand ambassador role announced earlier this year, features a pizza topped with four premium meats—pepperoni, cup and crisp pepperoni, bacon, and sausage—paired with a side of Cheezee Pepperoni Rolls.
In a unique addition, Pizza Guys has introduced a limited-edition box that transforms into a basketball hoop, allowing fans to shoot hoops at home while watching Monk on the court. Additionally, fans can pick up a Pizza Guys x Malik Monk mini basketball for $4 at participating locations, further enhancing the experience for basketball and pizza lovers alike.
Career Highlights: Malik Monk, born on February 4, 1998, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, has made a name for himself as an electrifying shooting guard in the NBA. After an outstanding college career at the University of Kentucky, where he earned SEC Player of the Year honors in 2017, Monk was selected 11th overall in the 2017 NBA Draft by the Charlotte Hornets.
