Fist, let me say, I apologize. I take no comfort in writing bad reviews.
I drive 40 minutes to Luigi's Restaurante about 2 times a year. I like the place. We got the 2 for 1 spaghetti special--spaghetti, meatball, salad, nice bread for $15. It was o.k. Everything was good but the spaghetti and sauce was mediocre. I shrug--2 for $15 what do you expect? Five dollar tip for an even $20--I'd call that waitress night. I'm guessing most people leave that.
We parked besides Luigi's Pizza, and their placard said 1/2 price night--XL pizza--$7. After dinner I had to order a pie. I'm perhaps a sucker for 1/2 price dinners. They give you a choice of deep dish or thin, and I ordered a plain thin. How else to judge a pizza place?
I've always believed pizza was like sex, even bad pizza is pretty good.
Having had many pizzas' over 60 plus years--supermarket frozen, locals, high end, carnival pizzas--this was the worse. Sort of thin crust. Also, thin sauce and cheese. No taste. Just a pizza in the most minimal way.
There were people coming in and out continuously picking up pies. Maybe for little kids who shout "Oh boy, pizza!
Maybe I didn't know a secret word that would have transformed everything.
I could forgive it for being a bad night for a restaurant, but it was a pizza place and I'm guessing the high school kids just follow the recipe directions.
The people were very helpful, thus the one star.
Instead of coming back in 6 months, it will probably be 9 months.
Maybe things will change. I'm rooting for you, Luigi's. read more
