Ugh! Wow... I think of myself as a very fair foodie analyst but my first experience at Al's Pizza was a dud... to be fair, I did order take out so I cannot speak of the service or ambiance. But, I can say that as I waited for my order I saw several kitchen employees walk into the front door of the restaurant and they looked like they slept in the same clothes as the day before... frankly, they looked unkempt and unwashed and my first thoughts flashed to what the kitchen might look like... there could be a correlation. I would have sent those guys right back home if I was the manager...
OK.. to the food... another dud... I ordered the 16" SPICY CARIBBEAN CHICKEN and it was bland, lacked any discernible quantity of chicken, the crust was comparable to cardboard, and the over-salted flavor was bland with a hint of pepper and garlic... MYEH! I have to say that I had a stomach ache hours later and I desperately prayed that I didn't have food poisoning... I did not but if their food can bother my iron-clad stomach then something is not right...
I also ordered the cheese sticks that looked and tasted like industrially-flash frozen erasers (yes, I was one of those weird 3 year-olds once that tasted everything)... while the breading was unique and good there lacked any real amount of cheese in the sticks... I took a bite and there was more air than cheese... I guess their intention was to have the gap filled with the AOK marinara? LOL... I think not...
Anyway... with the huge amount of competitors around their store I think I'll eat pizza elsewhere...
