| - Tried this place for the first time tonight. We ordered their daily special Large Cheese and 12 baked wings for $19.95. I also tried out their Italian Beef sandwich.
Since I only live 1/2 mile from this place the pizza was still way to hot to eat, so I started with a couple of wings. The wings were large sized, and meaty. I ordered the hot sauce which was not even warm to my taste buds, but I'm a chilihead. I gave them a few drops of good hot sauce and they were decent then, or at least as good as you can get baking them in the oven. They are a little healthier, but they don't have that good crispy skin.
Next up was the pizza. I only had a half a slice, and as cheese pizza goes it was decent. The hand tossed crust was good, but a little soft. The sauce was decent with a little bit of tang, and there was a good amount. There was plenty of cheese, and not to much grease.
Ok now my hopes are up for the Italian beef, which came with peppers included a nice touch. The sandwich was loaded with meat and hot peppers, and it came with a cup of beef juice. The bread was good, but the meat had very little flavor. The meat was very thinly sliced, which is the Chicago way, but when it is sliced that thin it does not hold well. There was a different taste in the dipping juice. I think it was red wine vinegar, but I'm not certain. It was not overly salty, but it seemed to be missing the beef flavor. Lobby's still has the best Italian Beef in the east valley.
My wife only had the pizza. She's the one who like cheese pizza, I like them loaded. Her comment was that she still likes the costco deli pizza better. I think the costco stuff is just average at best.
I may go back and try a loaded deep dish from this place. The pictures look good.
