Joes Pizza

We opened Joes Pizza here in Santacruz East at Rajpath Society 1 because the spot was open and we live nearby anyway. It is not a very big place. Most days we just spend time getting the dough ready and making sure the oven is at the right temperature before the first person walks in. The tiles on the floor have a few cracks now but they have been there since we moved in. Sometimes the music is a bit too loud if my brother is working the counter but usually it is just the sound of the street outside. We keep the napkins in those plastic holders on the tables. Sometimes people ask for extra sauce and we just give it to them because it's easier that way. It gets pretty hot in the afternoons when the sun hits the front door. We have a couple of fans that stay on all day. Most of the people who come by live in the society or work in the offices down the road. They usually just want something quick before they go home. We don't really do anything fancy here. Just pizza and some drinks in the fridge. The bike for deliveries is parked right outside. It’s an old one but it still starts on the first try most mornings. We try to keep the place clean but with all the flour flying around, there is always a little bit of white dust on the counters.
