“We’re both small businesses that grew our brands through innovation during the pandemic,” Brian Johnson, co-owner of The Pizza Bandit said, in a release. “To have the opportunity to partner up with a locally produced ice cream business that shares our values of quality products and customer service was easy to say yes to. I mean, it’s pizza and ice cream!”

JD’s Ice Cream is a handcrafted ice cream brand based out of Fairborn. According to a Facebook post on the business’s page, they are also planning to share a space with Casey’s Drive Thru 2.0, located at 124 N. 1st Street. In the meantime, JD’s Ice Cream is also doing periodic flavor-releases on its Facebook page.

The Pizza Bandit will offer the following JD’s Ice Cream flavors:

“But Better” - Vanilla ice cream with chunks of fudgey brownies, double chocolate-chip cookie-dough and a thick peanut butter ripple
