Pizzereal

  To be fair I have not invested the money to eat here more than just once...however once was enough to let me know that no amount of front lawn upgrades would persuade me to invest again.  Ordering a pizza to go is one step up from microwaving your own, and I was therefore surprised with the length of time and seeming effort it took to make this happen. 

  On this particular night they appeared understaffed despite the fact that there were only two full tables, a 3 top and 5 top.  As someone who has worked many a food and beverage position it was hard to manifest sympathy while being repeatedly ignored.  Still, service not withstanding, the smell issuing forth from kitchen promised that the wait would be worth it.  Again I was disappointed.

  Have you ever had the cardboard pizza at an 80's Roller skating rink?  It was a culinary delight of my youth to win the speed race and get your free Roller Kingdom pizza.  Part of it was the power....who do I share this with?  Who do I grace with my favor?  But by far the best part was being able to gorge yourself without parental approval, since most of us were dropped off in an informal daycare manner on Saturdays.  We were undiscerning gluttons back then, but times have changed.  The nostalgia not withstanding, the simple half pepperoni half cheese pizza was possibly in my top 3 worst of all time.

  Disclaimer:  I have never dined in at Pizzereal, the duo running the place seemed friendly enough, but too busy to give everyone the attention they needed, and I did not get a chance to try the Kabob.  Is that strange to anyone besides me?  How does one go about focusing on Pizza and Kabobs?
