well, made it there for the grand opening and was about the tenth person in. Was led to a table and it was explained that I’d have to go to the counter to place my order. I suppose a smart-phone/app might have been available, but I still use a “relatively” dumb phone - can just make and receive phone calls. That was fine, but I decided to order more (at the same time) for take-out. Turns out the take-out had to be ordered elsewhere, and by the time I got there and worked my way thru the line that had formed. It took quite awhile, and my original pie was just sitting at the table when I got back there. I would guess it had been there for several minutes at the very least. Was good, not great and certainly would have been better if it had just come out and been delivered. The ordering system , of using separate for take-out, I was told is in effect in New Haven and works well. I think it was ridiculous bureaucratic boondoggle. The pies still have their notorious thinner slices BUT, they were pretty uniform, so it is more style than substance, and never did affect me one way or the other, but if sharing ,at least more likely to get equal portions now. If I’d had to drive as far as New Haven, I’d have been upset, from New Rochelle to there - meh, may just go down to pizzeria La Rosa in New Rochelle or even Grigg street in Greenwich. Neither is the mind-blowing experience of Pepe’s or Sally’s years ago, but at least as good as the local versions of either.
