Today for a nice Friday lunch I ventured to the east part of town and ate at a place we used to frequent more often then we do lately. The Old Town Tavern has a pretty decent menu, but the pizza wasn't something I had tried before so I decided today would be the day! As you can see from the photos they do not sell slices here, they only sell individual pies. I was quite surprised by the taste of this pizza, it was actually pretty good compared to some of the places I recently tried. The crust wasn't very tasty or crisp and had a bit too much of an oily feel to it, but the cheese w

On my way back from doing an chore during the workday I decided to grab a quick slice at Bloomin' Newman's Pizza (or Pizza Express if that is what it is called now) in Boca Raton, by the Hampton Inn on Yamato. The staff was nice, but their English was not very good. Was hard to place where they were from....maybe Poland or someplace around that region. Anyways, I got the 2 slice special and from the looks of it I thought I would enjoy it. I am not

I need to step outside reviewing for one moment here: When did it become acceptable to ask someone if they wanted a cheese slice of pizza? Maybe it is my fault for growing up in a civilized pizza region of the world, but when you walked into a pizza place and said "give me a slice", the guy/girl behind the counter never said "what kind, a cheese slice"? Cause I guess they anticipated the NO I JUST WANT DOUGH AND SAUCE answer that would follow. Let's get something straight people of Florida and anywhere else that is as clueless when it comes to pizza, when I walk into a pizzeria and ask for a slice, it is naturally a slice with cheese. If I said I want a slice with meatballs then it would be a slice with meatballs. If pizza places want to call baked dough and sauce PIZZA, then I will rightfully agree to say I would like a Cheese Slice. But until then when I ask for a slice of pizza... I no longer want to hear some moronic response like,

Lunch time today was spent at Mario's of Boca in Boca Raton. They have a lunch time buffet which seems to be the only time there are people eating in this place anymore. Anyways, after moving into their new location it appears Mario's of Boca got a nice new pizza oven. The pizza maker seems to take pride in making all the different varieties of pizza but never seems to pop the bubbles in the cheese and dough as it is baking leaving tons of those airy pockets on the pizza which is a huge pet peeve of mine! TAKE THE TIME TO POP THEM IN THE OVEN! For buffet style pizza it isn't terrible though. Their dough tastes good and the cheese is quality cheese, but I dislike the sauce and find it full of crap. This pizza connoisseur likes smooth sauce without onions and tomato peel slices left around. Mario'

Since I didn't have enough pizza already today, I figured it would be smart to go and have some more when my friend Jim invited me to eat with him.  Jim chose Anthony's Coal Fire Pizza in Boca Raton, which I wasn't happy about since I had recently eaten at the one in Delray Beach (about 15 minutes
