Bravolebs just love Craig's — and so do their minis. Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave is a regular at the West Hollywood hotspot, and her kiddos have regular Craig's cravings as well. Once, she took her daughter Slate on a little dinner date there, at Slate's request. And guess what Teddi's son Cruz wanted to eat for his 5th-birthday feast? 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo App.

After Cruz celebrated his special day on August 21, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills accountability coach shared this sweet detail with The Feast: "He didn’t want birthday cake," she wrote via email. "He wanted chocolate pizza from his favorite restaurant Craig’s." 

Smart boy! Chocolate plus pizza might be even better than cake. And from the look on Cruz's sweet face, we can safely say that his birthday sugar cravings were sated.

The birthday boy also enjoyed dinner from Craig's, but he ate it in a very special spot. "His dream night was making Legos, ordering in Craig’s and getting to lay in mommy and daddy's bed and watch a movie before bed," Teddi shared. 

The little one also got a very special gift from his rockstar grandpa, John Mellencamp. "He was also thrilled with the $5 he was sent from my dad. My dad always gifts all the kids and grandkids the amount of money of the age they are turning," Teddi revealed. She's no exception: "I got 38 bucks this year."
