| - I'd had this place on my radar for a few years now. Somebody said "Best pizza EVER!!" and I was here to verify or deny the validity of that statement. It was dinner time, and I felt pizza would be a great dinner. As I entered, I eyed the tent-sign at the door. It spoke of a six dollar beer and pizza deal. I was intrigued, and I felt like experiencing the six dollar beer and pizza deal for myself.
I walked up to the counter to check it out. I asked about the deal, and the lady behind the counter said 'it's a slice of cheese pizza and our house beer.' I nodded and accepted. Six and some change later I had a receipt and they had my name. I found a table to sit down at and wait for them to call it.
Just a few minutes later, my name was called, and I retrieved my pizza and my beer. The beer was cold, and the pizza was hot. For six dollars, I was quite contented. As I ate my pizza and drank my beer, I took in the place. I watched amusedly as a small child tried to play a very old arcade game. Doing a wee bit of research, this game is as old as I am! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunt_Cycle (Just in case you want to know how to play it when you visit.)
The place seems to be a shrine to the Evel Knievel. Who was an awesome guy to have a shrine too. I'm not sure why. But there's a bunch of stuff dedicated to him. Portraits, statues, pinball machines, and a stunt motorcycle very old arcade game. Maybe this place was started by his relatives? Maybe this place was just a huge fan of the stuntman's work? I dunno. But it's a fun place to pop in for a six dollar beer and pizza.
I'll be back on my next trip out to Vegas. Maybe I'll get something else. But thanks!
