Prior to the Kvelertak concert last week, I found myself with a good bit of spare time, and feeling adventurous, I walked and walked in search of this particular Frank's (we've been to the one in Shaler before, and there are 2 others), finally coming across its Steeler-colored building in a residential part of the cozy borough of Millvale.
For $5, I had myself a small version (4 cuts) of their famed Buffalo Chicken Pizza and was not unimpressed by it. A blend of cheeses topped it, one of them being cheddar. I'm guessing the others were mozzarella and provolone. The chunks of chicken were tender enough, but it was that crust, which when coated with the cheese, almost tasted like Pepperidge Farm's Goldfish crackers but with a dimension of chew. A cream-dream of a housemade ranch dressing came on the side, and I slathered it on each cut while I sat on a public bench that overlooked a babbling stream.
Children ran past me, old folks chatted me up, all of them good-natured, each of them wondering just who this bald fellow was and why he was in town.
And of course, when I mentioned the band's name, eyes squinted, head's shook and the phrase " Who? Never 'eard of 'em" came from their mouths.
