Rizzo Electric were incredible, well-informed, and fast. I felt comfortable asking questions and they answered considerately. The process was very good and their services are incomparable. They were comfortable accommodating uncertainty in how my doorbell installation might work out, and they were creative and efficient in their approach. 100% recommended!

So my favorite ethnic food store to go too. Always fresh, great homemade smoked products. Also from Hungarian decent it reminds me of my youth growing up with the grandparents who made such delicious foods as well. I think Ill have to stop in again really soon. We always run out of our favorites first... smoked bacon, pork loin, head cheese, jams, jellies, candies (super delicious even for the grown-ups). Makes me feel right at home.

We have been buying from Bends for over 25 years. We happen to. E traveling and stopped at the outlet. Everything was great with the exception of the cashier! We bought a lot of our favorites and she just threw out stuff like it was garbage and didnt even attempt to help us pack our groceries 😡. Why are you so angry? Oh well

Excellent Hungarian butcher. The outlet is a mini European deli - good stuff for great prices! Sooooo glad to have this in the neighborhood. One of the few German/Hungarian ones left in the area. Especially good: Hungarian sausage, cold cuts, fresh baked rolls and pretzels, European staples foe cooking and baking.

Never had to witness so much racism in one place! Public defenders are seriously not going to represent you properly. My public defender was Leslie she constantly passed bad info and our last court appearance believe it or not; told case workers my personal information to block my appeal. Wow. I had every txt on case worker for three years to prove she was misrepresenting my case and she wouldnt fight my case cause.... You guess why???

Never disappoints. I just ordered a bunch of Szaloncukor and other holiday items and got it delivered 4 days later (we live in PA/ KOP area). To my surprise I received two extra bags of goodies - free of charge. What a nice way to say Merry Christmas/ Kellemes Karacsonyt! :)

I am Nikos mom, I grew up on your Teli salami, so did Niko and my other kids We and our friends and family all love it so much! As much as I love it, I worry about the nitrates. Is there any way you can possibly make a version of Teli with no nitrates?
