Usually I'll round up stars if if I think something is above 4 starts, but not really 5 stars. In this case Ill round down and this is why:"
Pizza: 4.25 stars. GREAT thin style pizza. This is thin, but its not anemic. It is firm, has substance, doesn't flop over like a limp...noodle. The cheese is QUALITY, gooey and perfect saltiness. The sauce isn't too sweet, and I didn't have to tell them light, because one knows how restaurants love to drown the foundation of a pizza in a lake of tomato sauce. Crust lovers, sorry this pizza has virtually no crust, but the end is flavorful; like a perfectly warm, toasted, crispy bread stick. The toppings were fair and of good quality. The sausage is TOP CLASS, chopped up REAL sausage. The canadian bacon was also perfectly crispy and came out embedded into the cheese - drool. The pizza tastes good cold and I got a hint of Parmesan and more of the oregano when I did eat it cold. The pizza heats up remarkably well (almost as good as fresh) in Man's Best Friend: The Convection Oven.
Garlic Cheese Bread: 4 stars. Not much to tell, cheesy, garlicy, crispy, perfect for a salad.
Antipasto Salad: 3 stars. Good three-four servings. Nothing to brag about, comes on a paper plate and the Italian dressing was a bit salty.
Decor: 3 stars. Bench seating. A couple of the table were dirty. Some video games and prize machines in the corner for kids, and adult-sized kids. Two televisions with the sports. An AYCD fountain. The floors were clean, but really never see anyone doing a lot of cleaning.
Pricing: 3-3.5 stars. Our order consisted of two XL pizza, a antipasto salad, two order of cheese bread and 7 drinks. The total price was 65 bux, give or take some change.
* * Here is where we had the issue
We take a menu with us to the table, the one's you are suppose to take home with you. We open it up and what do we see? A coupon for a family special and another coupon that gives you a 1/2 price discount on an XL(one topping) when you buy an XL(one topping). I understand in the realm of Business one is out to make MONEY, and usually as much as you can. In the restaurant environment, you want customers to return by providing a great product, great service and all at a reasonable price. If the cashier (imagine part of the ownership or family of ownership, given he was asian and their was an older asian lady walking around) notices we are ordering a lot of food, why doesn't he offer the family special or to use a coupon that is INSIDE A CLOSED MENU RIGHT TO THE LEFT OF US? That is easy, make the extra 9 bucks; which would have helped pay for the drinks. I've been to too many places, especially Pizza Parlors, to know that's kind of foul. Sergeant Pepperoni will tell you to buy two pizzas in order to give you one free if you don't see their ads on their tables. Oh well, chalk it up to getting schooled.Is the pizza good? Yeah, but the SERVICE(ownership?) BLOWS! Plenty of places to get a good pie and will only go back if im in the area, which since graduating from CPP is not very often. read more
