Looks like it's actually $32 plus tax and tip for the special you mention :p
Better prices than any of my locals, though.

it's nearly 10%....my biggest problem is that place is only open to 10pm even on the weekends.

Maybe good for the family dinner, but when you get back from a night out and have a group together you know Dominoes and the like are going to be still taking orders at midnight.

Yeah, MA sucks like that. You can have all the gay sex you want, but God forbid you want a pizza after 10PM. Most of the chains close early too, except the 24 hour Dunkin' Donuts & McDonald's off the highways.

here the local places are priced higher than the chains. worth it, imo, as the pizza is much better.

the hours suck though, oh well.

Around my area it's 3.20 for two slices of plane. Though we also have 20 or so pizzerias located in a 10 mile radius.

so after the gay sex do you still want pizza once you have a donut or big mac?

Don't think I want to visit MA.

ordered a large pizza with extra cheese, mushrooms and pepperoni last night from Pizza Hut. used a coupon for $12.99 for 1 large pizza with up to 3 toppings. somehow it still came out to $17.48. wtf???


i haven't had pizza hut pizza in like 5 years or more. that thing was TINY, barely had any toppings, greasy as fuck, and wasn't even all that good.

Really? Have you ever tried copter? MUCH better flavor, and the rotor is self-cleaning...:p
