... for 1 pizza. I'm not sure what just happened.

Ouch.

That’s a little shocking to me. We routinely get Piece because it’s down the street from us, and our standard order of one large pepperoni and one large sausage comes in under $60, if memory serves. What’s sort of annoying is that they charge full freight for a topping whether you get it on the whole pie, or half of the pie, which seems wrong to me but tolerable given the product.

My main bitch about Piece is not the prices but the crabby staff. JFC they are angry to see you and serve you. The bouncers act like it’s a crime to have kids there after 6, and the servers like you have a social disease if you ask a question. I’ve pretty much stopped going there because of it, but do the take-out still because I don’t feel like John’s on Western all the time.

Bucktown could use another solid option.

HI,

I would be very reluctant to open anything in this post. Maybe it is innocent, but it sounds creepy.

You diminish your message when you make people wonder if a click will invite a virus or seeing something unmentionable.

Ooof. I can't really add much to this thread. I was at Piece a couple of weeks ago [I'm composing this from the bar at Sleeping Village.], but I did not eat anything there - It was a Monday night, and I had had a half-price hamburger at Estelle's.
The beers are really good. I believe they never actually slipped in terms of quality despite Jonathan Cutler's death.
I shall reveal a little secret from an adult-oriented background with respect to the Piece World-Wide Web site.
Observe this image from there.

Go onto the URL line in your W-WW browser.
Back-parse this URL back to the virgule after "/images/". {You need to leave up the trailing virgule.}
Ohmigawd - it is the directory of every image Piece has ever uploaded to its W-WW site. You can click on "last modified" to sort them. Save the image of Jonathan Cutler [R.I.P.]? Do it.

Have you tried The Stopalong?!! It's genuinely fantastic pizza, and the staff couldn't be nicer.

The Stopalong is indeed excellent; not only pizza but the burger as well.

Agreed, the pizza is good at Stopalong but I always get a burger there. Of course the best thing about that place is the free play video games. Remembering all the warp zones in Super Mario Bros is one of my favorite ways to to show off to my kids.

This is classic. Really made me smile and made my day!
