Pizza may have been first sold in Gardner at the former Buffo’s Spaghetti House

What’s happened to all of the pizza joints in Gardner?
Of course, I am being facetious, but at one time there was more than a dozen places in the city where you could purchase a pizza pie in these parts.
It nearly became a joke of sorts that a city the size of Gardner had more pizza joints per capita than most communities statewide.
However, that number is dwindling to the point where now there are only eight places in Gardner to buy pizza.
