For its 40th anniversary, Darien’s popular Greek-style pie joint Post Corner Pizza is throwing itself the kind of party we can all get behind: throwback prices.
I’m fashionably late to this, as the party has already started, but you can still grab a large cheese pizza for $6.50 if you make your way over by the end of the day Wednesday, May 9.
Looks like Darien Social, which opened last week on the Post Road, is shaping up to be a runaway success. By the restaurant’s second day in business, it had 100 reservations for dinner that evening.
Chef Baird Van Beever says he plans seasonal changes to the menu, which currently consists of small plates, pizza and entrees, including Swedish meatballs with foie gravy, shrimp and grits, wood-oven-roasted chicken, wild salmon and filet mignon.
Our folks at Darien News have done the reporting, now go try it and let us know what you think. Is this the hottest new spot to hit Darien? Or are you not believing the hype?
