Just so you know, I called to be sure this was true when I was told about it. They told me it is dine in only, that’s fine . Please be aware that they told me that you CANNOT bring home your leftovers. They are throwing them away. While I understand they want to discourage over-ordering, I specifically asked if you order a reasonable amount for the party you are with & just have a few pieces left, you can’t take it home? They said not at 1959 prices. Guess what?? They can keep their 1959 prices & their pizza & I will go elsewhere from now on. In today’s economy, there is no excuse for throwing food away just because you didn’t overstuff to eat it all or couldn’t judge the exact amount if pieces you can eat. They should have had a buffet if they couldn’t afford to let people take their leftovers home.

I could not agree more with what Cheryl has said. I can not get it through my head how they can decide to keep that which customers have bought and paid for. I’ll bet in 1959, if I ordered a large, or a small, or even an extra large pizza, say it cost 7.00, and I paid that – what is uneaten is MINE not Aurelio’s or other purveyors of pepperoni pizzas.
