Pizza, Donuts, Eclipse, And Jobs, Jobs, Jobs: Bucks Co. Business Brief

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Wrightstown made Bucks County business headlines during the past week, first with a partnership that has brought a slice of Philadelphia to Bucks County and then with the opening of the "restaurant of the future."

Angelo Pizza, owner of The Angelo Pizza at 229 Market Street in Philadelphia, announced a partnership with Andrew Abruzzese, proprietor of the historic Pineville Tavern, to bring his pedigree pizza to Bucks County. As of March 28, Angelo’s mouthwatering pies are available in the takeout store of the tavern, located at 1098 Durham Road in Pineville.

A few days later and just down Durham Road at the township's five-points intersection, Dunkin' opened its newest "next generation" restaurant touting a "fresh, friendly, vibrant, and engaging environment." The chain is known for its donuts and its coffee.

Looking ahead to Monday's celestial event, a Newtown-based deli is inviting customers to share the experience as it hosts a Solar Eclipse Watch Party on Monday, April 8 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Borscht Belt on South Eagle Road in the Village at Newtown South (near the Newtown Farmer's Market) will be marking the heavenly event with eclipse-themed music, giveaways, store specials and Borscht Belt-branded eclipse viewing glasses. The event is free with outdoor seating available.

Meanwhile Wegmans continues to make news in Bucks County, this time for being named one of the best places to work in the nation. The supermarket will celebrate the news by giving away cupcakes and clementines on Saturday at its locations in Lower Makefield and Warrington townships.
