| - I had been wanting to try the Millvale location (there are 4 total as of this review) for some time now, but alas, they're take-out only and do not deliver to my Lawrenceville workplace. So here we came, not only in search of good pizza but good fried chicken as well and scored on both counts.
Kay wanted a Cheeseburger Pizza, which sounds ludicrous to the unhip. However, after one bite, detractors will stop laughing and realize that the cakey crust, richly delectable sauce, and that mozzarella/ provolone/cheddar cheese tryst, draped o'er the pie like a silk nightgown, ranks up there with any of the best pies they've ever eaten 6 cuts of. Unh. Kids, it's not all about mush, pep, and mozz.
We also ordered one drumstick each just to try that "broasted" chicken and upon first bite reached an epiphany: KFC and Popeye's are on notice for Frank's cluckers are a near tempura-battered meltaway Southern-fried dream.
They were out of the potato bites, so they gave me a half of an Italian Hoagie to make up for it. The meat was plentiful, the dressing pungent, the veggies fresh, but methinks they yanked it from the oven a touch too soon since the cheese was still solid.
Yes, the service was somewhat off, but with food this good and a back dining room with a big screen TV and an old-school quarter-a-play arcade machine, I can only deduct one lousy star.
The machine had Ladybug! And Phoenix! Frickin' Phoenix man!!! I haven't seen that in decades!
P.S. I hear they make their own ranch dressing. Intriguing.
