| - Saredella's Ultimate. Memories of a time gone by.
Back in the late eighties, my high school friends and I would hold regular Thursday evening get togethers to watch Married With Children and The Simpsons on the fledgeling Fox network.
...and we always ordered a Sardella's Ultimate:
Large Cheese Pizza and 50 wings for 11.99 (back then).
Oh sure, they still sell pizza, and they stil sell wings, but over the years they've gone from a super fresh neighborhood REAL pizza parlor (this is THE original location) to a generic, uneven quality "local-chain" of pizza stores.
No fancy ingredients: the last time I tried to get a Hawaiian style, they had no Canadian bacon, only ham, not as slices, but tiny diced bits with a yucky flavor, and just as oily as pepporoni would have been, anyway. No artichoke or banana peppers or anything like that either.
On the positive, they do have cheap deals, and are regular sponsors of local kids' sports teams and other community stuff. I remember getting a coupon for a free medium pizza when I moved into my house.
I wish the Sardella's family continued success, but hope that someone within recognizes that their restaurants just aren't what they used to be.
