| - Good pizza, pretty bad ambiance.
I wanted to start it out like that, as I don't want to sway people on coming here. The pizza IS good.
My companion and I (on another trip to Nat History Museum, again, the lovely Elizabeth) came here for a quick lunch before heading over. I've heard story upon story about it, so I wanted to finally find out for myself.
I'm sure all you know the history, been there for years, blah blah blah. It looks like it. The dining area has NO WINDOWS...definitely from the days of people wanting to be shut out from their surroundings (which, in great part is the major problem with Cleveland, but that's another story for another board). So, the restaurant is pretty dark.
But, there were quite a few people in there, so it wasn't without merriment.
We had a medium pizza with pepperoni, some of the pepperoni slices so thick that they could be divided up and go across an entire Rascal House large. 8 slices, plenty for two people. The crust is a bit thinner than say Dominos, but thicker than suck-a$$ NY Style pizza. The slices stand on their own, and don't run grease down your wrist.
They have Pepsi, not Coke. But, I forgive them for their misguided choices.
(are there STILL Pepsi-over-Coke people out there? Sheesh. Ever wonder why Jack and Pepsi doesn't exist...??)
Price was very good, just $15 and change for the whole pizza and two sodies.
I'd definitely go back, but not before trying everything else in the 'hood. The no-way-out style of dining room really bugs me.
So, three stars. And another must-eat destination off the list.
