Many people who work in pizzerias across Buffalo Niagara began to slice, dice and knead their way through the week as they prepared for Super Bowl Sunday, their busiest takeout day of the year.
“It’s just total mayhem for five hours straight from 3:30 to 8:30,” said Mark Biletti, owner of Buzzy’s Pizzeria in Niagara Falls.
Biletti, like other pizza makers questioned, urged people to pre-order their food.
“We can make 40 pizzas every 15 minutes, and 5:30 p.m. Sunday is the time when most people want to pick up their food,” he explained. “Once 5:30 p.m. is full, we put them in 15-minute brackets earlier and later. If we didn’t do that, we would not be able to have fresh pizza out of the oven and to the people. We don’t want pizza hanging around.”
