| - Let's be honest, graduate school is hard and often horrible. There are times when you are reading nine hundred pages, writing a ridiculous paper or four, and teaching classes. Sometimes life becomes simply unbearable. This is why there is Antonio's.
Antonio's is a tiny space of joy in a world that can be excessively painful. I imagine it as an island of tranquility, if that tranquility comes equipped with some of the most ridiculous pizza ideas ever and a host of smooth nineties slow jams. And that is what I need every Monday afternoon, when Antonio's has a buy one slice get one free special. So I pay about $3 for two huge slices of pizza and a half hour of belting out Toni Braxton, Babyface, maybe if I'm lucky a little Alicia Keys? Hell yes.
The slices themselves range from inspired to bizarre to terrifying, but they generally mange to pull of the crazy flavour combinations. They have gyro, nachos, fresh mozzarella with pesto, potato wedges and bacon, and any number of other combinations.
So on a Monday afternoon, you can find me sitting over a double slice of heaven, singing "You'll Always Be My Baby." And I wouldn't have it any other way, Antonio's.
