About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little boy walked into Orsi’s and asked for a slice of pizza. The baker looked puzzled as he handed it over—this was no ordinary day. For every third slice sold that week, customers noticed an extra olive appeared on top, seemingly out of nowhere. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started coming from miles away just to get that magical pizza with the extra olive. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe I should ask for two slices next time!’ To everyone’s surprise, there were indeed two olives on his pie. That afternoon, an old neighbor popped in and said, “I’ve been meaning to tell you… those olives aren’t magic; they’re just your son’s way of saying thank you.”
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Orsi’s and asked the baker to wrap his usual order in brown paper with a big red bow. When customers picked up their packages later that afternoon, they noticed every single one had been meticulously wrapped exactly as requested—even though no one else ordered such elaborate packaging. Finally, a delivery driver arrived late in the evening. The baker carefully wrapped his pizza in a plain brown bag without any bow—and when he opened it, there was a big red bow inside the box! Everyone laughed, realizing that Orsi’s old gentleman must be having some fun with them.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Orsi’s one afternoon and called out: ‘Hey, Joe, I’ve got your pizza—only it’s not round!’ Joe looked puzzled for a moment, then burst into laughter. 'No worries,' he said, waving his hand dismissively. 'Just throw it in the oven for five minutes—it’ll be perfect!' And indeed, when served, everyone agreed that the square pizza was every bit as delicious as any other.
4. At dawn, when most shops were still locked tight, a cat began appearing outside Orsi’s. It would sit on the steps, watching as customers lined up for fresh pastries. One morning, an old delivery driver arrived early and noticed the cat. Thinking it was lost, he tried to coax it inside but ended up chasing it around the bakery until everyone laughed. The cat eventually found its way into the kitchen, where it started sniffing at the dough, earning itself a nickname ‘Chef Paws’ among the staff.
