This past weekend, Trapper’s had the absolute pleasure of working with local photographer Hal Silverman on a shoot featuring some of our signature menu items. This photoshoot has been in the works for some time, as we’ve been working hard behind the scenes at revamping the Trapper’s Pizza Pub website and social media accounts. This push has been ongoing since November, and we hope you’ve enjoyed seeing more of us in your feeds and timelines across Facebook and Instagram.

Summer & Volleyball

The shoot this month is just the beginning, as we have a slew of plans to make your favorite neighborhood pizza joint even better, just in time for the Summer months ahead when we’ll all (hopefully) get to see each other more often. While we’re still waiting to find out more about timing for the start of volleyball season, we’re already accepting team sign-ups on our website.

New York State Easing Restrictions

As more and more restrictions are lifted for bars, restaurants and other venues, we’re seeing life slowly return to normal. Trapper’s is committed to keeping our customers, staff and community safe throughout this time, which is why we’ve recently installed plexiglass between booths, and are still careful to maintain proper social distancing between tables throughout the restaurant. We also have multiple heaters on the outside patio for those patrons who are still understandably concerned about dining indoors.

Is the End in Sight?

It has been difficult to navigate through this unprecedented time, but thanks to the unbelievable support from our loyal customer base, we’ve been able to stay in business and are looking forward to a thriving restaurant once restrictions have all been lifted. In the past week, we’ve had optimistic news about the state of Covid-19 in New York State. Hospitalizations are now lower than they were on December 12th, over 175k vaccines were administered in just 24 hours on February 26th, and the FDA has just approved the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. We’re so grateful to have been able to continue operating throughout the pandemic, but we’re also very much looking forward to putting this all behind us.
