| - Very average pizza and service, though the reviews led me to think otherwise.
Drive by this place on my way home from work every few days, figured we would give it a try. Large pizza and wings for $25 is an OK deal if it's really good...
This place is in an older strip mall that looks unassuming during the day, but at night, with all the riff-raff milling about, is akin to a zombie film shot in a demilitarized zone. Pretty sketchy, I recommend carrying here...
Ordered and drove down about 20 min later. Our order wasn't ready. Bummer, since it was pretty hot inside the dimly lit dining room. Also, ditch the tip thing at the POS; real turn off, and I shouldn't be asked to tip when it's a carry-out order, especially when it's an order that is already running behind schedule. Uncouth.
Pizza is OK. Cheese is cheap, marginal quality; pretty good amount of oil sitting on top when we opened the box, and very stringy/rubbery. Crust is fine, no chewiness, but has very little flavor and is a bit thicker than I like. Sauce and toppings were forgettable. I don't see what all the praise is about, it's average at best.
Wings weren't blowing my skirt up, either. Not one of them was crispy. All were bathed in a fairly salty red goo of oil and medium sauce. They weren't the best I've ever had, but certainly not the worst.
I can't say I'd come back, but it was nice to see a small business thriving in the area. It's very serviceable pizza, but it would never crack my top 20 list, some chains included. Definitely worth a try, who knows, maybe you'll enjoy their product better than I.
