Millenia have past since any new primordial gods have been unearthed, but here in Panama City I have discovered Napoli, god of pizza. Indeed, he was crafted by Zeus himself for the express purpose of crafting the tastiest cuisine ever known to mankind.
Think I’m kidding? Try his barbecue chicken pineapple Stromboli with jalapeños. Your tastebuds won’t even know what hit them, but they’ll thank you afterwards. I order it every time I visit, and I visit every time I come to Panama City. Right now, I’m reviewing this establishment from Hawaii.

It comes out of the oven with the hallmark of a food that delights both body and soul: it is...

Ordered pizza with ground beef and black olives, ravioli, order of meatballs. The ravioli came out first. It was clearly a heat and serve ravioli. The insides were bland white stuff. The meatballs came out next, added them to the jar sauce from the ravioli, which didn’t help them at all, as they likely came out of a bag before they were heated. Last was the pizza, which came out as beef and green pepper. Sent it back and got the “correct” pizza. The olives had obviously been dumped on the pizza after cooking as there was a mass of liquid in the center of the pie. Pizza was bland - pretty sure the ground beef was from frozen crumbles. Left without finishing. Will...
