| - Hunter's Pizza has apparently been standing in the same spot for decades. The appearance of the interior, decor, furniture, and regular patrons definitely supports that notion. Deceptively good is one way I'd describe everything from the name of this place, down to the food and the service.
Pizza is only a small sample of what they offer, as they have breakfast food, burgers, and specialty greek dishes all on one menu. You could even stop here for a beer or a stiff drink, if you wanted to. A friend of mine convinced me to try their 'mini' pizza, and for $7.50 (two toppings) it definitely didn't disappoint. The homeburger wasn't the best I've ever eaten, but for $5.95 it was worth trying out.
There's no flair here at Hunter's, just fast, reliable service. The pizza is just so homemade looking and tasting, you'll want another one the moment you finish your first. I've always loved a pie where the cheese is smothered on top of the other toppings. Stringy mozzarella is a traditional way of making pizza that has gone by the wayside, replaced by thinner crust and lightly topped pies.
It's good to see family-owned and operated businesses still thriving, especially in low-lying pockets of suburbia. Come here if you're looking for that hidden gem, old school feel, on the cheap.
