I can only eat two slices so I cut it in half.

Tomato sauce and other toppings on a large square ritz cracker does not a pizza make. I'm not even sure there's yeast in their crust! How do they dare call that a pizza?
It is not what we grew up with back in western Massachusetts, but my wife and I like "Mom and Pop's."
Back home we had a choice of Italian, Sicilian, Neapolitan and Greek pizzerias.
Tried it today. So glad they offer asiago. Almost nothing is better after crisping up in the oven. Damn this was good for 8 bucks and I have lunch for tomorrow.
When i lived in Gardner Mass. back in the late 70's i don't ever remember eating in any kind of chain pizza or sub shop, they were all locally owned Mom and Pop shops.
They used to make the best steak and cheese grinders in Mass.
Majority of joints are still local mom and pops.
Stopped there today. On the plus side, it tastes good. Quality ingredients. One price, unlimited toppings. Prepared "assembly line" style like Subway, you just tell them what you want on it. Lots and lots of choices. Even drips with oil.
On the down side, I'm not a big fan of very thin crispy cracker crusts. Prefer the yeasty crust of a NY style.
I love a thin crust. Tonight we went to Palumbo's Pizzeria here in Naples - turns out the owner is from Belleville, NJ, which is Monello's home town, and went to school with his younger sisters. Small world. Anyway, their pizza crust was straight up. Light, but crispy, nice toppings. I'm always sad about pizzas with great crust because I know that's the best that pizza will ever be, and the leftovers will be ruined in the fridge. Monello had a Sicilian style with eggplant and it was more of a deep-dish crust, but still that very light yet crispy. Mine was a special with hot cherry peppers, onions, garlic, and meatballs.
We're 00 flour snobs when it comes to pizza crust.
A re-visit. Requested the thick crust like suggested. Made it better, to me anyway. Of all the "fast" pizza places around here, MOD is on the top of the list. Still not a NY pie, but we're not in NY, are we?
