Hey I heard you guys sell the famous school pizza is this true?
I bought a Freschetta 4 cheese pizza at Shop-Rite in Niskayuna (Schenectady) NY. The pizza had some pepperoni in it. I’m not vegetarian, Kosher, or Halal, but you should be aware of this because of dietary restrictions. Folks think they’re getting a vegetarian pizza with no pork, that’s what they expect.
