B Brothers Pizza ineteen years ago Will Ruckel left a successful career in the family business to concentrate on his number one love: pet styling and care. He graduated from Nash Academy, the top pet grooming school in the country, and, after working in the pet grooming industry for some time, he returned to teach there for over a decade. In the process he acquired valuable experience and innovative techniques to pass on to his customers. In 2008 he opened his own state-of-the-art pet grooming salon in Midland Park to bring his level of care and expertise to area pets. At Le Chien, Ruckel offers breed standard to pet clips as well as retail items and daycare, complete with a secure outdoor play area. He is extremely patient and knowledgeable about pets and their owners’ needs. Bringing into play his teaching experience, he takes the time to listen to his clients’ requests and to explain exactly what their pet will benefit from. He Will Ruckel and Rosie then allows dogs to unwind and relax before working on them. “We are an affordable luxury for your best friend,” Ruckel says. “I treat your dog as my own, and that is very good indeed,” he adds.

N Le Chien: affordable luxury for your best friend hen Brooklynite Antonino Mazzola spotted the Midland Park Shopping Center 40 years ago, he knew it would be the perfect location for a new pizzeria. In 1970, he and his wife Anna opened Brothers Pizza, a hometown establishment that served meatball heroes, chicken parmesan, antipasto, lasagna, and – of course – pizza. Then, as now, patrons are welcome to dine in or pick up their orders. From the very start, Brothers was a family affair, and so it remains, although daughter Piera left five years ago to raise a family. Today, Tony’s son Anthony, daughter Vera, her husband Roberto, and grandchildren Alessandro and Antonio all serve Italian specialties to the community. For 40 years, the family has been using high quality mozzarella, and the same sauce recipe – a secret that entered the United States via the Mazzola family’s hometown of Palermo. Patrons who enjoyed Brothers food when they were young now bring their own children to sample the restaurant’s dishes. Even Brothers’ original oven is still in use, although three others have been added. While being careful to retain patrons’ best-loved recipes, the restaurant has added wraps and salads to its menu to keep up with changing tastes. Brothers serves 20 types of pasta dishes, 15 types of heroes, a variety of soups and panini, appetizers, Italian specialties, and desserts such as zeppoli and homemade cannoli. Delivery is available for an additional $2. Brothers offers catering for events of all sizes. Tell Brothers about your taste and budget and let their experts take care of the details.
