I really don't like pizza.
Now before you look at me like I just told you I don't accept Jesus Christ as Lord or I killed my first born... (for some reason I get this reaction every time I say I don't like pizza. Seriously, what is it with the world and their love affair with pizza!?)
Anyways. I've had pizza in New York, Chicago, and in Boston. I think I'm pretty damn schooled on pizza. I just plain don't like it.
That being said, I've always had one rule. I don't like pizza unless it's Slices. Back in the day everyone knew the only way to get me to eat pizza was to venture to Mill Ave and pick me up something from Slices. Looking back I can't remember what it was about slices that made me claim it as the only pizza I'll eat but it was probably the fact that they would make me an artichoke heart and feta cheese pizza. l think the trick to get me to like pizza is to fool me by making it not taste like pizza
Today I went to Slices for the first time in years. (since I'm not a fan of pizza in general)
When you're ordering a single slice you shouldn't ever expect it to be fresh and hot. They do put it in the oven for a few minutes though to get it that fresh feeling. The selection of premade slices was kind of small compared to the Mill location but they did have one that caught my eye. A pizza with nothing but vegetables. There wasn't even any cheese or sauce! I felt like I was in heaven. My heart was pounding. Could it be!?
The pizza itself was really great but I'm not sure if I can even call it a pizza. I feel like I'm cheating. Bread + hot vegetables = pizza??? My brother got pepperoni and mushroom and my grandpa got sausage. They both said that it was really good pizza that was totally worth 3 bucks a slice.
Anyways the service was pretty good but the seating was horrible. They only have a bar and one table along with some outside seating. Hello! We live in Arizona. Nobody wants to eat outside in the heat or be cramped at a bar next to strangers. They lose a star for that because seriously when you're in a high traffic location like Tempe Marketplace you need to have better places for people to sit. We're tired from shopping and it's hot outside!!
All in all, I think my opinion is still the same. I hate pizza but love Slices.
