| - First things first - the pizza LOOKS better than it tastes. As you're standing in line either waiting for your pick up or ordering on the spot...you're forced to look at that beautiful pizza.
The cheese looks gooey, the toppings fresh, and the crust crusty. It looked so good to me that I ended up ordering a slice even though I had already called something else in.
I got ham and pepperoni. It was honestly irresistible looking in its tray. But when I got it back to the office I was like, "Oh."
I could see that it wasn't as thick as I first thought, and a bit more grease than expected too. The crust had the consistency that I like - crusty and, well...crusty. But its taste was less than stellar, just kinda bland and greasy.
So now I know all that glitters isn't gold.
Now on to what I actually ordered - the Italian beef. I never had one like this before - its more like a hoagie than the thing I'm used to getting everywhere else. The meat was thicker and chunkier (that's what she said), whole slices of green peppers, and really no juice. Don't get me wrong, though...it tasted great. Everything was fresh and the meat ended up being very tender and juicy. I even liked the bread it was on. But its not my beloved italian beef sandwich I'm used to.
I went again the next day.
This time I ordered the gyro, with the idea that if they get the gyro wrong I can take them off of my wall of menus.
It was a traditional gyro with cucumber sauce, onions, tomato and a soft pita...but it was only ordinary. Again, it tasted fine and good, but it wasn't one of the best I've had.
And like the day before, I got messed up while I was in line looking at the food trays. This time they had baked wing dings! 50 cent a wing was a bit expensive, but those little things were absolutely delicious! They were seasoned so well. And not greasy at all. So good!
Two things about this place that will make me come back more than the food - the service and the prices.
The lady that works the cashier has such a warm smile and manner, like an old Italian mama. And what I assume is the boss/owner was also very friendly and bubbly.
The prices are some of the best in this downtown area that I've found so far. I mean, under $5 for an Italian beef or a gyro??? When I got the pizza slice and the IB, I only paid like $8.50 or so. ONE salad costs that much at some places.
There is not a whole lotta room inside and seems to fill up quick, but there is seating outside too.
So to sum it up, If you didn't bring a lunch to work and have about $5, you can go here and have a tasty lunch. A neat place.
