As has often been said, especially by friends in Europe and the Northeast US, "Good pizza joints are rarely cheap...and cheap pizza joints are rarely good."
These folks must have been referring to Gus's.
The call was placed for delivery...a large pizza and 2 dozen wings. Delivery in about 35 minutes...pizza and wings of decent temperature.
With regard to the pizza, this was just not worth the first bite. Between the light dusting of cheese, the 9 slices of pepperoni on a large pizza and the rather boring as well as lightly applied sauce, the final disappointment was the crust. Thin and chewy should not go together for pizza crust.
The wings...so sad. These apparently came from a bag in the freezer...found at places like Smart and Final. They are of all the pieces and parts, just very small, little meat on those bones. Seasoning seemed to be a dry spice applied after the wings were cooked.
Not so worried if they deliver at 4 AM...
