One of my all-time favorites, but it's changed a few things over the years, and I haven't cared for the changes. The pizza, for example. Many years ago, they made a pizza that was the best on the planet. It was a medium thickness (described alternately as either "eastern style" or "Greek style"), and it used a wonderful, spicy sauce.

I ordered a small pepperoni and it was okay. I would definitely just stick with the grinders when...
