Sometimes you just want a blue collar 'ZA... Nothing mass produced, chainy, fancy with boutique local ingredients or D.O.P. this that or other. A simple well made 'ZA that is tasty that doesn't rip you a new asshole when it's time to pay the check. So, it was time to check up on this place and see how they were doing since my last trip. Nothing has changed much, still the dumpy neighborhood spot where all the townies gather to gossip. But on this day it was senior citizens day... I mean it looked like they came out of the grave for the monthly Texas Hold'em tournament. I didn't even noticed all the tables set up for them in the back because the Dawgs on the telly were getting their ass beaten like a scoundrel mutt. Back to the grub...
The V8 Salad. I like a place that gives you the option for a half portion because who the fuck really eats that much salad. I started laughing at this when it came out. I was like where the fuck is green things... It was like the raw toppings that goes on a veggie 'ZA. I was like, yo, homeboy, can you put this on top of my pie before you stick it in the oven? Needless to say this was a very pathetic "salad".
The Upper Crust. Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon, mushrooms, peppers, onions, garlic. Ok, it ain't NY style or Napoletana style, it's Corner pizza style. It's a decent crust, a little crunchy, no char but totally acceptable. You won't find a floury powdery bottom either like some infant's ass. It's like a slutty hybrid 'ZA. I can understand why the townies around here lurv this joint, it's right up their alley.
The Boss. Salami, turkey, capicolla, soppressata, pepperoni, lettuce, mayo, pickled onions, swiss cheese. Just like the salad, you can get a half order on the sandwiches. Good job, bro. This sando was pretty bossy. The bread was great, crispy exterior, soft interior. The meat fillers were a little on the thin side but hey for a half a sando, this did the trick... And you can't go wrong with Zappo chips.
This ain't the best 'ZA intown but I liked it. I like the local neighborhood feel of the place, it's like the Cheers in this neck of the woods. All the food is prepared consistently and fresh above all. For a quick quality bite, this will do.

Ha! Silly north-side.
A raw mushroom "salad" that hasn't been marinated or anything? Um, no thanks. The Swiss on that sandwich makes me sad too. Swiss on/in anything but fondue makes me sad. The Boss sounds like it needs provolone
