“Tonight was a really good reminder that sometimes the little things mean the most. Lucas and I had one of our favorite mommy/son dinner dates at the new "The Pizzeria" in Yaphank. Since being diagnosed with celiac and deciding to go dairy free for my health, I've wondered if some of our favorite traditions would have to change. I knew they offered a gluten-free crust, but after I ordered Lucas's slices, I asked a few questions. Vinny, who was working behind the counter, was incredible. He told me he'd been with the company for three years and knew they had a dairy-free sauce. When I told him my favorite slice was the Aunt Danielle (vodka sauce, pepperoni, stracciatella, fresh basil, and hot honey), he smiled and said, "Let's make you a dairy-free version on a gluten-free pie." It was even better than I imagined. Every bite was amazing. But what meant the most wasn't just the pizza. It was realizing I don't have to give up one of my favorite traditions with my son to take care of my health. Thank you, Vinny, for taking the time to help and for making someone with celiac feel seen instead of like an inconvenience. Acts of kindness like that make a bigger difference than you probably realize.”
