Found a band-aid in their pizza one time... needless to say haven't had the stomach to try it again.

Another pizza place in G'Town. Had to give it a try since they are still open at 2am. I have to say it was one of the worst jumbo slice I had. The pizza was just above warm and the crust was a little dry. Big two thumbs, will try to find better late night hunts in G'town.
My frat brothers and I had their Jumbo slices after a bar craw. What I could remember is that it took forever to get the slices after ordering. The pizza was very oily and all of us were a little under the weather the next morning.
DO NOT BE FOOLED...THE BATHROOM IS NOT OUT OF ORDER.
SUPER fresh sauce and ingredients on the chicken pesto pizza. Definitely recommend it over Philly P.
The alternative to Philadelphia Pizza. It's a bit cheaper, a little further off-campus, and the pizza is really good. And fairly large slice.
The staff is also really nice.
Good pizza, and a great alternative to other late-night pizza options.
It tastes more like real food, with a thicker and more flavorful sauce.
Not the best pizza I've had, but I'm used to NYC pizza, but their calzones are absolutely delicious and the garlic bread is really good too. I once got a pasta as a take-out order and it was not liberally sauced and therefore was a little dried by the time they delivered it and I ate it.
I've never actually been there, so I don't know if the food there differs from their take-out, but they deliver, even though the guy had trouble understanding where Darnall Hall was and I had to give him directions like 8 times.
Overall, not bad.
