I met recently with them to get the low-down on their story, on their tasty menu, and on what they plan on doing next.
Despite Delilah O’Leary’s vow to never again cater an event offsite after a rather traumatizing murder, the money to provide a variety of noshes for Adrian and Daffi Hoffman’s Chrismukkah house party was just too good to resist. So that’s why Delilah & Son pizzeria is at one of the glitziest properties in Geneva Bay’s resort when one of the guests seems to go missing, only to be found later buried in the middle of the town’s snowman building contest.
