ORRVILLE — Pizza lovers in Orrville will no longer have to travel out of town to order pizza.

The M&M Grocery located on Main Street now features a Hunt Brothers Pizza place inside of the store. Customers quickly crowded the front of the store to order pizza Wednesday morning at the Hunter Brother Pizza’s grand opening.

“It gives our customers a pizza place here,” M&M Grocery storeowner Mintoo Rahman said. “Then they don’t have to go so far to get pizza.”
