CiCi's pizza is nasty. It's gas station/convenience store/bowling alley/Kmart cafeteria type pizza.
Alpo?

NOT Politically Correct!!
This place just sucks. I have now been there a total of 6 times since it has opened and not once have I enjoyed my meal. I went there yesterday for my brother's birthday party. He insisted on going there. As I walked in I noticed that half of the tables in there were empty but had not been cleaned off. Each one had atleast 5 or 6 plates stacked up on them. While I walked over to get some pizza I noticed that 6 of the 12 or so tables had not been bussed either. We had 16 people coming in for this party. So, I walked up to the register and asked the cashier if someone could possibly bus the tables. She looked at me like I was stupid and said that she'd ask a manager if it could get done. WTF?
We were there for a total of 2 hours. Not once did someone come over to take our plates. As I said, there were 16 of us so plates were stacking up. The pizza was nasty. The only thing that I liked there was the apple strudel desert pizza and root beer. My daughter who eats everything under the sun spit the pizza out. My son who never turns down pizza spit it out too. The only thing that I could get either of them to eat was the 1/2 cooked cinnamon buns.
Which do you want, immigration reform or clean tables? You can't have both...

I think Alpo probably tastes better and I'm sure is better quality.

People look at my 2 year old daugher like she is NUTS when she asks for a P-pie (pizza pie) when we are in a pizza place.

Aw man.... Buddy, don't get me started.... There is a small Italian bakery in the town of Rocky Point that had THE BEST cheesecake and Italian breads. They no longer make the cheesecake and their bread isn't as good as it used to be. Time to find a new place for cheesecake.....

A friend of mine just gave me a recipe for the best cheesecake I have ever had and I can't wait to make it

They (well, I guess I have to say "we" because I'm now here) don't call it a pizza "pie" down here? No wonder everyone looks at me like I have 10 heads when I order a pizza!
Looks like I need to get my buddy Vinny to move his pizzeria down here. Then we would never have to think about going to Cici's again. He also makes some great bakery items, although no cheesecake. He'd probably make a ton of money down here.

That was always one of my thoughts too, to round up the best bakers and italian food creators, bring them down here and let them teach the trade to locals. couldn't find anyone wiling to come to SoMD!

Yeah, I know. It's nice & "peaceful" down here but there's not much to do in Calvert. Our friends like to come visit for some "relaxation" as they call it but say they could never live down here because it's so quiet. If you like to go out & have some drinks, NY bars are open until 4 am (24 hrs in NYC) and there's never an issue getting a cab or a train home. They laugh at us because our local bars are Applebees & Outback, although the Greene Turtle in PF opened not long ago. Me...I spent summers as a kid going upstate NY to the mountains, riding atv's and love the outdoors so I don't mind the "country living" here. But some of the "comforts of home" I do miss a lot. Oh well, road trip in the next couple of months is in order!!!

Usually when we say pizza pie it is fine but since she was saying p-pie they had no idea what she was talking about.

I usually forget where I am and just say "a large pie". I love the look of total blankness I get....

The dividing line must be the Mason-Dixon. I grew up in MD, but most of my relatives are in PA. They call it a pizza pie, or if just ordering a slice, they say, "I'll have a piece of pizza". Said quickly, so it comes out "pizapizza".
My parents had a hard time when they first moved south. They'd go out and order a piece of pizza, and get a blank stare followed by, "What's a pizza-pizza?"
Of course this was years before Little Ceaser's.

And where can you find GOOD chicken wings around here- I was raised not far from Buffalo. Nothing compares!

There are a few good places. Raley's if they are still open. Monk's is right up there on the list.

If I'm just getting a slice, then it's, "A slice, please".
And as much as we complain about pizza here, have you ever gotten one in Minneapolis ? A "large pizza" is a 6 inch cracker crust with terrible sauce and I have no idea what the cheese was...

The Chic'n Coop on GMR isn't bad at all.
