Brothers Pizza (continued from page 5) explained the larger kitchen will allow for the expansion of menu offerings, including daily specials, and of the catering operation. “We’ll continue with our traditional menu but will be able to offer a greater selection and variety,” said her husband, Rob. “But not so extensive; we want to concentrate on quality,” he added. A separate espresso/cappuccino room is being set up to make delicious coffees standard offerings, and a “carrettino” will be brought in later on to offer gelato, he said. And of course, next spring, outdoor dining will be incorporated. The additional five-feet of space taken from Pay/Half, Mannino said, made possible a separate side access for home or office deliveries and a back door for merchandise deliveries. “It will be the most beautiful pizzeria/Italian restaurant in the area,” Mannino added proudly.
