Thank you TO AND FROM Lisa’s Family Pizzeria

These guys took on a massive job catering to A LOT of fantastic FBE supporters - however, they asked that we pass on their sincere apologies to any customers who did not receive Lisa’s Pizzeria’s usual excellent customer service. They were faced with quite a challenge, catering to a rush of orders when one of their pizza ovens went down! Under such stressful circumstances, they did a great job, and we are incredibly grateful to them for donating over 15% of their takings to the FBE!!!
