It's another Giant victory over the Patriots for Eli Manning and company.
While you enjoyed Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis on Sunday, Feb. 5, how many pizzas were delivered at least locally?
The Fix stopped by Ponzo's in Midtown to find out.
"The majors can afford to fork out $3.5 million for 30 seconds [of Super Bowl advertising]," Chris Burge, a Ponzo's co-owner, said. "They may sell 300-500 pizzas, and we'll do at least 200-300 ourselves with rolls and everything else."
Chris and Peter Burge, co-owners of Ponzo's, say that's just before the ball game kicks off.
How many pizzas are we talking about all together?
"You know what? We maybe do a thousand pizzas," Peter Burge, a Pasadena, Calif., native, said. "The process [for Super Bowl] baby is just making sure we're ready to go. You know, all the boys are here. All the boys are pumped. You know, we're ready to rock."
The crew took phone orders before kickoff, which means it's just about time to rock and roll.
"I've got little meatball in the front [taking phones and working the register], I've got my sister; I've got my brother," Peter said with a smile.
Now that the pies are prepared, get ready for a Super Pizza ride.
"I have no problem getting down and dirty, and doing whatever it takes to get this job done," Severo Hernandez, a Houstonian and Ponzo's delivery driver, said.
From running down the hallway, jumping fences or walking into a local sports bar, Severo delivers on time to ensure your Super Bowl experience is a smooth one.
"Pizza delivery is not as easy as it may seem on TV," Hernandez said. "We can't be messing around so we have to pick up our pace."
"My brother and I put a lot of hard work into it," said Peter.
Hard work from the Ponzo's staff means happy customers on Super Sunday.
