Good for him!! I hope he has a ton of success!
I appreciate your comment very much, thank you!
The pizza looks delicious !!
Without watching the video, what’s the reason
You recieve your order faster then when paying with cash.

Time is (Cash) money 👍
👍
I ate there before and the pizza is really good! Go and taste it if you haven’t yet.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we appreciate you!
It’s actually against the law to not accept cash in NYC.
Why would you want the person handling your food (with or without gloves) to be touching something so unsanitary such as cash?

We live in a high crime hood
I was recommended going to the shop throughout the summer, and didn’t have a card, only cash. I was sent away due to the card policy, so I thought, “No problem, I’ll go home and order online, and by the time I get there the pizza will be ready.” I couldn’t order through the website for some weird reason, the phone didn’t work, so I scrambled for a card and went back there (10 minute walk each way). I finally put in my order and had to wait an hour, yes, an hour, for my pizza to be ready. I… Read more »

I appreciate you taking the time to share you experience!

also im guessing there is a security advantage to no cash. the video is very professional. v inspirational, def the future of chabad locally, innovative & true to his roots.
That’s what I initially thought as well
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement!
Some ppl dot use credit cards
The best would be to accept all kind of payments
many places they even offer discount if you pay cash
Whatever
Also it’s actually illegal in NYC to not accept cash as payment.
You have a good point, and we are currently looking into this decision.
You should have lots of Hatzloche!!
Your cousins yitzchok and odel zirkind from Montreal
Thank you, omain!
Legit the best. Ty.
Pizza looks great – do you guys deliver to Long Island ?
Thank you!
We don’t as of yet, perhaps a new location idea for the future!
Is very dangerous to our freedom and privacy. Hatzlacha on the pizza, but I encourage you to accept cash as a form of payment.

Nyc law requires businesses to accept cash, this can cause a business to receive fines
Thank you for sharing your concern.
Young bachurim don’t have credit cards
Cash app card is easy enough to get
We are looking into our decision.

Thank you for taking the time to post your link.
Our cashless decision was not to inconvenience the customer but on the contrary to make things more seamless.
I too will share a link that may help you better understand another reason why we chose this route for now.
Thank you for your time and understanding!
I wrote a comment with a whole story yesterday on how I had to wait over an hour for my pizza, but it wasn’t posted (probably due to bias purposes). In short, I was sent away for only having cash and tried calling and ordering online, but didn’t get in contact with anyone. The pizza was / is delicious, no doubt about it, but the cash thing doesn’t make sense.
If Collive will grow up and post my original comment, you would see the whole story and understand.
Your 1st comment was posted above.
Thanks for taking the time to post your experience, I responded above but will do so again in the event that you missed my response for your previous comment.
I apologize for your loss then pleasant experience, I’d like to correct this if you would expect.
Please email me at [email protected] so that I can issue you a refund.
Thanks for giving us a try.
Great pizza!
Mikvah Mair also doesn’t accept cash.
By far the best pizza I have ever eaten.
We don’t have cash, don’t carry cash, today women in CH was robbed for $300 by two males!
