Adriaticos @ a PARTY!! What else is there!?!?!?

Hype: We were having this KILLER party. Comfest traffic had us totally locked up but we needed some pie. Who you gunna call?

Scene: Women and children were among friends and other good people. It was nice. Backyard BBQ without the grill. All was well in the world.
The Pie:
Its Adrocks! What else can you say. Salty, doughy, well-seasoned, thickness topped with spicy sauce and enough cheese to stop up a Canada Goose. Dig it?

The delivery guy was fast and agile. He cut though the traffic with ease. Party on Adriaticos.

Hound Dogs Pizza (The Happy Hour Deal?!?!?!?)

Hype: Somebody told us that Ravari Room/ Houndogs was getting their happy hour shit back together. Here is the deal: we used to go in their all the time--dollar beers, $5 pizzas, Lord of The Rings pinball, and darts. Then things got more and more expensive so we stopped. Let's see if they recaptured some of their glory.
Scene: It's still Houndogs and the Ravari room. Don't get me wrong, but they do have pool tables, pinball, terrible music playing, and darts.

The Pie
Crust- we got smokin' joes. Garlic-butter-herb thickish, chewy crust. Airy in the middle, golden brown. Its all good.
Sauce- Sweet, not spicey. Hints of italian herbs. Does not stand out.
Cheese- Its real. Good tanginess. Lots of it.
Peps- spicey and slightly cupped, but not on all. Fulfilling.

Overall: This is not just a deal...IT'S A STEAL. 10 bucks for a pizza and pitcher of beer. Give it a try. You can get it on either side of the bar. We give this a very strong 4 out of 5 pies.

Come party with us.

We are going to party with these bands next Sunday. Let's see if we can score some pizza-- or at least some extreme wieners!

Clintonville Primo Pizza (Indianola Ave and Weber)

Hype: This kittycat told us that we were hungry for some pie. We had a lot of work to do so we thought we'd just get some pick up. Its close to the house and who doesn't like to pizza while they work?

Scene: Its a pizza pick up desk. They do delivery too. It has a family business vibe to it without the portraits of old Italian ladies. These seem to be midwestern folk.


The Pie
Crust- Thin and flaky. It does droop a little in the center, but not too bad.
Sauce- A little sweet and tasty. Good stuff here.
Cheese- They keep it real here. Not Rotolos amounts but a good dose of the real deal.
Peps- Spiced just right, thick-cut and well applied.

Overall: We order two larges and each pizza was not alike. The first was better than the second. This is not the diminishing returns concept from that economics class I failed. The second was underdone. Maybe that's why daddy had a belly-ache and Dave was feeling a little ill. This costs them a pie I think. 3---5. Or on second thought, maybe we should not have ate that much pizza and we are just plain stupid. I've had Primo before and liked it a lot. Maybe they should get that one back?
