QC pizza chain says Super Bowl brings ‘hundreds of sales'
As the Super Bowl approaches, many local restaurants are hard at work to meet the needs of watch parties. Harris Pizza is no exception.
'When we notice the date on the calendar, we have to start gathering supplies in advance,' said Harris Pizza co-owner Ryan Mosley. 'That starts off about three or four weeks in advance, we start building our inventories to ramp up for the super bowl weekend.'
Around 12 million pies are estimated to be eaten on Sunday nationally, and Harris Pizza is counting on it.
'The morning prep will be about an hour earlier than normal, typically Sunday, but the pre-stage prep will probably be mostly happening during Saturday,' said Mosley.
The days ahead look like hard work, but Mosley says the payoff is huge.
'We're going to sell hundreds of pizzas,' said Mosley.
He says the exact number varies based on interest in who's playing.
'So the more regional style teams in the past tell us we need to be more prepared to be heavier,' said Mosley.
Mosley has worked for Harris pizza since the 1980s, covering most Super Bowls in that time and he says every year, the effort is worth it.
'You're giving people a chance to have a good day, giving them something good to eat,' said Mosley. 'That's kind of the backbone of what we've been doing almost 65 years. It's hard to believe how many super bowls I've actually worked, but it's worth it.'
