If you’re going through hell, order pizza. I think it was Winston Churchill who said that, but someone should double check. I would go to the library myself and look it up but, well, you know.

But I am quite sure this moment in time calls for pizza. Having that familiar cardboard box arrive at your front door, its contents steaming hot and deliciously glorious, is one of the few slices of normalcy we still have during the coronavirus pandemic. No pun intended.

We’ve ordered out a few times since this started, but frankly I don’t know if it is a good idea. These restaurants are closed for a reason; NJ has a lot of cases of this

At today’s Corona Conference, business sanity is finally returning to the country. Clearly, the President understands the country needs to get back to work, which is a good thing. While a lot about the virus has been learned during the shut down, the country’s business community has suffered severely and it’s time to get back to work in smart way based on what we now have learned.

“We’ve ordered out a few times since this started, but frankly I don’t know if it is a good idea.These restaurants are closed for a reason; NJ has a lot of cases of this”.

The dine in portion of the restaurants are closed off to provide social distancing. The ordering of takeout food should not be a problem. If you are worried, and to be really safe, then only order foods that you can reheat. This is one of those times that you should also remember to tip the employees. They are our frontlines now (like truckers, grocery store workers, law enforcement, military, sewage and water treatment engineers, utility workers and medical professionals, etc.)

Good for him/her. The owner must have had plenty of capital to back the loan. I suspect he had a open line of credit prior to the $hit hitting the fan???

Could start an underground economy - ordering delivered food for someone else.

I forgot to add that the only thing you will get from pizza is maybe a little case of heartburn.

I was going to buy a GC, but there isn’t a link, on his website.

Will have to call them, tomorrow.

I’m trying to get all of our fave, local restaurants to put a link, on their websites...for e-delivery of GCs.

I don’t even care if we actually, eventually cash them in...we just want to get immediate cash to them.
