    Summertime Slump

    Price is the biggest concideration for everyone in our town. People don’t think of us when they order Italian style pizza because of Papa Gino’s. I just want to point out we are bigger and better (our pizzas anyway ) and that they should give us a try. being cheaper in this case will be a benefit.
