| - WOW! Though I live in LA now, I grew up just a couple miles from this place and ,somehow, NEVER managed to get myself there. Don't remember ever hearing about it either. Have driven by it many many times though I feel cheated that I missed this experience as a child!
Went there Saturday night with my mom and some friends. We entered the place and were greeted by a man who said he was the son in law of the Geraci's. I explained that we had never been there before but were really excited to be there because we'd heard so much about the places. I must say that EVERYBODY we encountered on their staff that night was SUPER FRIENDLY, attentive and accommodating! My mom uses a walker and also has some special dietary restrictions of late and they went out of their way to make sure she was comfortable and made several menu recommendations they thought might suit her.
Ok,ok... about the food:
Now, I don't usually eat pork mostly for reasons of personal health. But I'd heard SOOO MUCH about the pepperoni that I just HAD to try a bite or two from my friend's Pizza Deluxe (Pepperoni, Sausage, Mushroom, Green Pepper, and Onion)...I sat there chewing with my eyes closed.
Few experiences in my life have been comparable to this one...the only one I can remember is the first time I ever french kissed a girl! OOUUU WEE!! That pizza was DEEEEE FRIGGIN LICIOUS!! I don't know if it's my lack of vocabulary or the out of this world taste of that pizza that leaves me without words sufficient to adequately describe the taste experience I had! Well, the third option is that I'm just too damn lazy to think that hard about it at 8AM when I've been up really late the night before!
Anyway, you get the picture! My veggie pizza was pretty darn good too. However I think I like my veggies a little bit chunkier than the way they served them here. Also, I HIGHLY recommend trying it with MEATBALLS! WHEW!! Nuff said.
One last thing..if you're a fan of really sweet fried dough desserts, try the Spingi. But if you like a less sweet option, you may want to have something else. These things are rolled in granulated sugar and then covered with powdered sugar. Can you say sugar crash,boys and girls? Mom can't have donuts, so she had ice cream which she immensely enjoyed. We all left satisfied.
