Outdoor dining became the new way to socialize, which worked in the spring, summer, and fall seasons when weather was manageable. As temperatures began to drop restaurants needed to adapt. Brick House Pizza had the good fortune to be able to not only add outdoor dining but was able to also enclose the patio and add infrared heating for customers to be able to dine in comfort without adding any exorbitant cost.
