What to order at Dabestas?  First, it’s lunch only.  And Monday to Friday, no weekends. But when it comes to what to order, uh, um, let’s see, maybe out on a limb here, but how about, uh, a slice of pizza?  And if you don’t want to order a slice of pizza, how about ordering two slices of pizza? Dabesta is located at 216 Thatcher Street in Bangor.
