| - Let me just start out by saying that this place is closed on Mondays. Closed on Mondays. Oh, and did I mention, it's closed on Mondays. Just a little shocked and appalled that this was not mentioned in 18 different reviews and a little bitter that I hoofed it down here on Monday, only to be denied.
Anyway, after my usual office food truck (Curbside) threw in the towel because of the rain (who can blame him really... even Slider Truck refused to come out today), I took the opportunity to finally try this restaurant out on a Wednesday at lunch. I tried the cheese pizza (which is now $5 for 2 slices and a soda) and I just wasn't digging it. To like this pizza, you have to really like crispy crust pizza. Like saltine cracker crispy. If you do, then this is the place for you. But I'm more of a thin, soft crust gal so it just wasn't working for me. Plus, the cheese and sauce are not particularly flavorful. Pizza is such a personal thing, like BBQ.
But this place get stars for atmosphere. The owner was having a good old time screaming at people, hopefully his children, about various financial matters which was entertaining to say the least. If you aren't up for this type of authentic Italian atmosphere, then this probably isn't the place for you. The owner is super nice and friendly, just a little feisty. It gives me hope for the world and this restaurant.
Because almost everyone recommended the pizza, I had to try it first. I will definitely be back for more fun and will try some of the pastas or sandwiches and re-review.
And yes, it is CASH ONLY as indicated in the business info above. And the ATM next door at the Griffin trick only works after 6pm when the Griffin is open so come prepared.
