| Uptown Pizza |
Anyway, as I was waiting, the phone rang and one of the employees answered. The conversation went something like, “Uptown pizza,” then a pause, then a “Yes mam, we do sell pizza.” Pause. “Yes, we are open right now.” Pause. “Yes, I’m in the store right now.” Pause. “Ok.” Click the phone down, hang-up.
A minute later, the same employee yells out “Second shooter” and looks at me knowing who I am. I pay the man and as I begin to leave, I ask him if they sell pizza here at Uptown Pizza. He burst out laughing.
I must say, the pizza is well cooked, with a firm enough crust, not hard, but a good texture. The cheese was melted and the sauce zesty enough. I ordered sausage on half and it was cooked under the cheese and was a good spicy sausage. The cost was reasonable, at $7.00 for a 12 inch pizza.
One negative, and it’s small, but the pizza itself was greasy, just a little.
The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 3.25 out of 5 shots and recommends Uptown Pizza of Youngstown for lunch and dinner.

It was merely a jump to the left to understand.

Pizza is one of my very favorite things.
Of course, mine has to be covered in MEAT. Gobs of meat.
Enough meat to make farm animals everywhere shiver in fear.
Except for the horses.
I hope.

Agreed, we usually get either pepperoni, or bacon, or sausage on ours.
There may have been a pizza place in San Francisco where you would be concerned about the horse.

That phone call is no worse than when you pull up to a drive through window and the employee asks for here or to go. I’m at the drive through window bitch, of course its to go.

I did the old stand by once, when the speaker box asked if they could help me, I said, no, just driving through. It stunned him for a moment. He asked if i was going to order. I said yes, but only if there were seats available inside. Silence!

When my son was younger and he would go and pick up take out for us, I would use the name, “Teenage Grassy Knoll Sniper”

How did a pizza post turn into the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
