Fans of a popular Hoboken pizzeria are begging its owner not to sell. (Caren Lissner)
HOBOKEN, NJ — Among the more than 20 pizzerias in mile-square Hoboken, Mario's Pizza is a mainstay: For the free turkey dinners it gives to the needy on Thanksgiving; for the traditional pizzas with unusual toppings, for the kids' shows and Yankee games often playing on its TVs, and, well, for the fact that it faithfully delivers sangria, a popular feature among pandemic-weary moms.
A brief announcement on owner Mario Albunia's personal Facebook page Friday, in which he said he wanted to sell the store for $4.25 million, brought wails of "Nooooo" in community Facebook groups.
