Silver Case

For my tastes, no pizza satisfies like Pizza Pub of Clarion.    The most common failure is the crust (too thin like a cracker, or something repulsively pillowy and billuous).

Tonight’s pizzas at Nick’s were well on their way to being really good.  Just the right medium thickness, yet crispy.  I noticed the pizza boy running a tool like looked like a lawn aerator vigorously over all the crusts, perhaps that’s why.
The toppings were pretty good.  The mushrooms were the best. The pepperoni was small diameter, would have liked that to be larger gauge.  The cheese, which they brag about being, “low fat,” shouldn’t be — the pizza could have used a more muscular cheese.

The single best improvement?  If I eat there again I’ll request extra sauce.  It simply needed
more. It tasted good when I’d hit a patch of it.  The other improvement?  Provide ice with pitchers of soft drinks. Yuck.
Funny thing was that the 20yo store had the same homey independent feel that Pizza Pub has.  Including a strange semi-roof of brown shingles helping separate the kitchen from the dining.

The only questionable thing I saw was the owner quarrelling with a table of ugly women about a messed-up order. They insisted they had ordered one thing, and the waiter heard something else, and said he’d repeated their order as he heard it.  The owner was stepping in and giving the, “why would the waiter repeat your order and you not correct him?” sorts of lines. By the time he capitulated, “well then what, do you want me to make you a new pie?” the damage was long since done. I don’t know what the point of bickering over $3 of ingredients with customers was. Whatever… not my problem.

Anyway, the place has good pizza.  Order extra sauce.
