Stop in to Not Just Pizza in Sicklerville through April 1 and try one of five special sandwiches benefiting local schools.
What do the Union Valley Bulldog, the Jem, the Erial Epic, the Mullenader and the Charger have in common? These five sandwiches, created by area schools, are being sold for a limited time at Not Just Pizza. For every sandwich sold, $1 will be donated to the school responsible for their delectable creation. The two schools that sell the most sandwiches receive a cash prizes of $300 (for first place) and $200 (for second) in addition to the totals from the $1 donations. Union Valley Elementary, Ann A.

Maybe you stop in for the pizza or maybe you go for the penne alla vodka, but you leave a friend.
While you might think of Coppola’s as the place to go to grab a pizza or a plate of penne alla vodka, what the regulars go to Coppola’s for is the friendship. Coppola's Restaurant and Pizza owner Salvatore Coppola knows his regular customers by name and strives to make Coppola’s a place that feels like home. “We serve customers from the time they are babies to the time they get married,” said Coppola, who grew up in Italy. The restaurant has been in Gloucester Township since the 1980s and at its current location since 1996. “The best thing about doing business in Gloucester Township is that everyone knows everybody. It is a warm and friendly community,” said Coppola. “We live in town and people support you as their neighbor.” The menu …

If you are not already a regular, you will be. Check out Privito’s To Go in the Laurel Hill Plaza.
Privito’s To Go owner Mark Privito has worked in the restaurant business his whole career. His resume includes the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City, Carmen’s in Ventor, La Cucina in Center City, the Cherry Hill Hyatt, Chateau Savannah and La Posata in Marlton, and, of course, the 19-year-old Privito’s To Go in the Laurel Hill Plaza on College Drive. When Privito imagined going out on his own, he first thought of an upscale, dine-in restaurant. But then his thinking shifted and after years of working late nights, Privito wanted to do something lighter. Privito decided on a new concept: Upscale take-out, an Italian delicatezza that served local favorites like hoagies and cheesesteaks alongside gourmet specialities like whole-baked …

(Editor's Note: This article was initially published on Gloucester Township Patch on Saturday, Nov. 17.)

The Book Asylum—Gloucester Township's only bookstore—opens a coffee shop in downtown Blackwood.
Skip the drive to Barnes & Noble in Deptford and, instead, check out Gloucester Township's newest spot for coffee, books and community. "We've always loved coffee and books," said Rosemary Moore, who owns The Book Asylum with her husband, Jeff. "Barnes & Noble was our date night." The Book Asylum at 26 N. Black Horse Pike in downtown Blackwood opened nearly two years ago. This July, the store opened an 800-square-foot coffee shop. The shop serves all the traditional coffeehouse favorites like lattes, espresso, coffee, baked goods and even pumpkin pie coffee for the fall. The store will host an official grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 6, with Mayor David Mayer officiating. Rosemary made sure to source local and sustainable…

Stop by nearby Sewell's pick-your-own family farm for apples, pumpkins and lots of fall fun.
Every fall, Duffield's Farm Market welcomes more than 10,000 people to its apple orchards and pumpkin fields. The family-owned-and-operated farm, on Chapel Heights Road in nearby Sewell, has been producing fresh fruits and vegetables since the 1930s. "I bring my children to Duffield's every fall for apple-picking," said Keren Fitzgerald, a Duffield's regular from Sewell. "And again in the spring for a hayride to the Easter Bunny. We love it there. It is a great, economical way to spend a Saturday." Duffield's offers a variety of family activities throughout the year—visits with the Easter Bunny, strawberry- and pea-picking in the spring, peach-picking in the summer, apples and hay rides to the pumpkin patch in the fall, and winter hay …
