Munchies Pizza & Bar

I find myself going here at least once every few weeks now to grab lunch to bring back to the office. Cheap lunch deal - slice of pizza, fries and a drink for about $5. I always have to add a cup of the ranch dressing on the side to dip the hot, salty fries in - my mouth is watering just thinking about eating those. Side note to those who (like me) rarely carry cash on them, they do not accept credit card payments for orders under $5.

I am now and will always be a fan of Munchies. The staff, the atmosphere and the food are like an institution. They don't change. And here, I'm good with that.

I order my drink, decide on my to-go lunch order and wait. Usually just a few minutes. The food is packaged up nicely for transport back to my desk.

I've recently learned that their Wednesday special, a chicken and pasta dish, runs out quickly. But if you call ahead, they can reserve some for you. It's pretty tasty. I really enjoyed the grilled chicken.

I've always been a chicken pastina soup lover!  The pastina is perfect for this delicious concoction.

Finally, I still find excuses to eat the ranch dressing. It's garlicky and makes me the outcast for the afternoon, but it's worth it!

"& Bar" is stretching it. From the outside this place looks like a neighborhood bar where you might find gizzeled old men talking about the good 'ol days. Inside its a child-friendly pizza joint with fair quality pizza and reasonable prices. The pizza is heavy on the dough and light on everything else.

The staff is very nice, and if you like being called "honey" and "sweetheart" then you'll really like this place.

If you're coming for beer, keep looking. The bar was unattended at 5:30pm, not a single customer either. The selection includes several varieties of "the cheep shitty beer, Bud and Miller, all of which I decided to pass on.
