Bay City, Mich. (WNEM) – Takeout is on the menu for many Saturdays, and a slice of the profits will go to local businesses.
B&C Pizza is just one place in the Bay City that gets busy with business on New Year’s Eve, especially on the same day as the VRBO Fiesta Bowl.
“Usually if you call around three or four o’clock, they will wait an hour and a half. On a day like this to get pizza. I can only cook so many pizzas in the oven,” said owner Sherry Korthals. “People call in advance a day in advance because they know we’ll often have back orders. We can feed a family of six to seven for $23, so that’s pretty reasonable. We have wonderful customers. They have been with us for a long time. “
Cortales, the 43-year-old owner of the family-owned pizzeria, said business was up 30 percent on the last day of the year, which she believes is a good sign following the pandemic and rising prices.
“Like any other business, we had to make adjustments. We want to keep our employees and because of the increased cost of inventory, we have had to raise prices. And because we want to pay our employees more, we want to keep them,” Korthals said.
Some ingredients have doubled in price, but the restaurant says there will be no slippage by the chefs.
Saturday customer favorite, classic Chicago style pizza with the works.
If you want to enjoy a fresh pizza pie, B and C will also be open on New Year’s Day.
