Voting Is Wonderful. Free Pizza Makes It Better.

Pandian learned about Pizza to the Polls on Instagram. A wedding planner whose work has slowed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Pandian decided to take advantage of the service. It is the act of a truly good Samaritan, but it only took her one order to realize she couldn’t just order the pies to be delivered and leave. “People feel weird about grabbing a pizza,” she explains. So, after an order arrives, she sticks around to hand out slices.

Roberta Pettit, head of marketing at Two Boots, notes an earlier order of pizzas to Saint Anthony’s of Padua — one of four early voting sites below 14th Street in Manhattan — was enormously helpful. “We have no corporate lunches anymore,” she sighs. “We’re just surviving.” “At this point,” said Maria Parchesky, a nurse from Mount Sinai West who had been waiting in line for more than three hours, “it’s the best pizza I’ve ever had!”

ninarobertsnyc smh. we just put ours in the mail

MaraWilson ninarobertsnyc In a first world country this would not be needed. Its pathetic that this sort of thing is actually required.

ninarobertsnyc In park slope they gave us empanadas! And libertywater

ninarobertsnyc It’s a nice thought but not the kind of food you want to share w strangers. Free pizza in Astoria at MOMI early voting but so many people maskless breathing over it and touching pizza w bare hands. No thank you.

wspittman ninarobertsnyc Since I already voted, I was thinking of being a bathroom buddy-letting ppl go pee! 🤣🤣

jerrysaltz ninarobertsnyc Who is paying for this ? I would be a bit reluctant to accept food from an unknown source (or with an unknown sauce) 🤓

ninarobertsnyc Maga!

ninarobertsnyc I did get offered a few slices whilst waiting in line at MSG. I was shocked by this, considering that there were homeless people sleeping right next to the line AND it's like, impossibly naive to accept unsolicited food in NYC

ninarobertsnyc So THAT's why so many wanna vote twice!
