PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- The owner of a Pennsylvania pizzeria said his eatery delivered 810 pizzas to US Airways employees in Philadelphia during a three-day period.
Dave Shearn, co-owner of Cornerstone Pizza in Prospect Park, said the first order for 150 pizzas to be delivered to Terminal B of the Philadelphia International Airport came in Tuesday and was followed the next day by orders for 330 more pies, the Philadelphia Enquirer reported Thursday.
An additional order for 330 pizzas came into the store Thursday, Shearn said.
A spokesman for US Airways in Philadelphia said the pizzas were a reward for workers who have been putting in long hours amidst blizzard conditions in the U.S. northeast.
"We had a lot of people here for three days," he said. "Our employees are the best, and that's why we're keeping them here and fed -- and happy."
Shearn said each of the large pizzas cost $9 plus extra for toppings.
