I have been going to Johnny Mac's since I was a sophmore in high school. ( there might have been dinosaurs roaming the earth at that time ... but we will act like it is just yesterday.)
Back in the day I would go and get two slices of pizza and a coke for lunch. My girlfriends and I would sit and listen to Madonna on the jukebox and chat . At that time Johnny Macs was a very small one room eatery.
Since that time it has grown into an actual sports bar with pizza and wings, pasta and many other delicious food items that will keep you coming back for more.
Now me? I am a creature of habit. I get the same thing EVERY time ... Not because I am afraid to try new things ... it is just because I am never disappointed with what I order.
So ... last night was half price pizza night... SCORE!
Mr. Abbott and I went and shared a pizza and a coke.
The pizza was PERFECT. The cheese was melty and just the right amount of sauce.
I do mine up with a little parm and peppers...
Honestly it doesn't need anything added. This is the same recipe John has used since he opened the doors.
(I act like I know him ... I don't, but he is always there making sure that his customers are pleased)
I watched one gentleman come in and John greeted him and the gentleman jokingly said "I will have a martini if YOU make it"
John walked behind the counter and said "Coming right up"
and made him a martini that the gentleman said was "To die for"
I will take his word for it.
You have to say something about a local place that keeps the same employees... for YEARS! it makes it feel like you are at cheers... or it is a family business.
We don't get to eat pizza as often as we used to we may splurge like every three months or something ... (stupid healthy eating getting in the way)
But when we want pizza we don't go anywhere else.
and If I want wings... I would get them here to. Totally unique and traditional buffalo taste that is perfectly blended.
I can't say enough good things... but honestly... you should try it for yourself :)
