@pizzeria_baci_ny Yea so cats out the bag. @stoolpresidente stopped by last Saturday. At first I was gonna decline the review but I’m a pizzaman and as crazy as it sounds i wanna be judged on my pizza by a Jewish boy from salem Massachusetts. Love him or hate him he has done more for pizzerias than anyone I know. I didn’t cry like a beach for the score. It was a very emotional week for me with my cancer and heart issues. To have so many pizzerias begging him to come and him show up at mine. Was truly humbling. He couldn’t even pronounce my pizzeria name or the town in which it’s located. But I don’t give a shit. He was a very nice and kind guy and I truly appreciate him stopping in. Thank yo ❤️ please I’m not changing anything. Just got a guy to cut pizzas. That’s it. No walk in. Preorder only. My regulars I told youse the plan. MSG me if any issues. Thanks for all the love and support. Very kind. ❤️🍕🙏
