• Pre-trick-or-treating meal: Many families order pizza as a convenient and easy dinner before or during trick-or-treating.
• Convenience: It's an easy meal for both families and hosts of Halloween parties. 

One pizza shop that decided to halt delivery service on Halloween is F & J Pizzeria in Washingtonville, NY. The popular shop has been around since 1979, serving Washingtonville in and around the surrounding Orange County area. Not only great reviews for their pizza, but customers have raved about their other food with over 400 Google reviews and and a 4.5 average ratings score.

One review said, "Some of the best food I’ve ever had and such great service from the two sisters in the front…. I highly recommend the chicken parm with vodka sauce over garlic bread, probably one of the greatest sandwiches I’ve ever had!!! And the chicken parm slice was out of this world."

No Pizza Delivery on Halloween at F & J Pizzeria

F & J Pizzeria announced this week that they will not be offering delivery service on Halloween due to the safety of the children. While delivery won't be available, the restaurant will be open and limited time slots will be available for pick-up orders.

If you are looking to place an order (pick-up) for a specific time, please call ahead.

Time slots are limited.

Have a safe & Happy Halloween!!

F & J Pizzeria went on to further explain their reasoning, "Let me ask you a question?????Would you rather have a person drive to one specific location utilizing the main roads or have a young kid delivering through crowed developments and neighborhoods putting children at risk. JUST MY THOUGHTS!!"

While the overall feedback on the announcement was positive, some pointed out that while obviously good intentions by the business with the move, people are still going to have to drive through developments to pick up the pizza.
