If marketing gets it done, then this looks interesting.
Since, success trumps all, whatever works is grand.

The one in Lexington is really funky and the food is pretty damn good. I'd welcome one in the city somewhere quirky as long as they retain the feel from the Lex store.

We hit the one in Lex when we have to work out that way. The pizza decent. The sauce is quite sweet and applied with a heavy hand. The toppings are put on in the "bluegrass style", piled high and in my opinion, overwhelming. The crust is hand tossed and fairly thin,but it tends to get a bit soggy if your not quick in eating.As I recall the beer list OK, but geared for the typical college crowd. The place has an interesting vibe, a kinda of corporate take on a stoner pizza parlor. Overall, not bad for college pizza.
The tall one wants white toast, dry, with nothin' on it.
And the short one wants four whole fried chickens, and a Coke.

My sister lives in Atlanta, so I have to go visit the city pretty often. The chain started there, in fact it started at Tech, her alma mater.

The atmosphere is different at each store; it's part of their business model. Usually funky, though. It used to have really, really good pizza, but now...well, it's better than Domino's. The crust at the one near her neighborhood is overly soft, almost doughy. The sauce is sweet. It's too big and gooey and chunky for my tastes. If it makes it to Louisville, I think Tony Boombozz will be very stiff competition.

Odd choice of location. My BF used to live in Newport, and I always hopped off the expressway exit at Wilder. There's not much there, but maybe they are building up in the area now that the Hampton Inn is completed.

I had my first MM pie in Savannah, GA oh, probably 6 or 7 years ago back when they only had a few spots, all in Georgia I think. It was very good, in my opinion. They're growing like crazy, though, so hopefully they keep things at a higher level than the pizza behemoths of the world.

I've been to the MM in Murfreesboro, TN. They make a good pie and offer a lot of options for those that like to create their own.
