Welllll...John and I have called for delivery from them twice. The first time, though it was within their published hours, they had had a slow night and already shut down the oven, so they apologized and asked us to please try them again some other time.
We tried again last Friday night, and the driver showed up without my debit card slip for me to sign, so I told him how much tip to apply and according to the bank records it went through the way I wanted it to.
The pizza: It was decent; the sauce was a little sweeter than I prefer, the toppings were plentiful. The crust, well...it was a little tough while at the same time being perfectly white on the bottom. And my GUESS is (only a guess, though) that they use frozen crusts - there were concentric rings on the bottom that seemed to indicate factory production to me. I could be wrong about that, though.
Large specialty pizza plus a passable order of hot wings, $28 and change. And yes, they are in "Pizza Alley", but neither Bearno's or Boombozz in the Highlands delivers. That leaves Wick's (good but pricey and casserole-style), Za's (who I had a customer service problem with within the last year) and the mega-joints - at least to our neighborhood. So we may give them another try some time.
