A half-cheese half-pepperoni pizza to go, two waters, and a cookie, $12.94 plus $0.91 Connecticut tax. Same cookie as Norwalk, soft this time.

Brookfield’s board. Still $1.50.
Order 290 coming together: a pizza, two waters, a cookie. $13.85.
Half cheese, half pepperoni, eighteen inches, to go.
The last stop of the day, boxed. The pumpkin pie we came in for stayed on the shelf.

What we thought

Double chocolate chunk cookie, $2.49 Would order again

The way it is supposed to be made: slightly crunchy outside, soft inside, gooey chocolate. Same item as Norwalk, same afternoon, one warehouse later, and not the same cookie at all. — Jes and Rich

Whole 18-inch pizza, $9.95 Would order again

Bought for the ride home, and it made it. Half cheese, half pepperoni; Mathew prefers just cheese. — All four of us
