Paramount Pizza

I first discovered this little hole in the wall several years ago after a night of partying with friends at the Hippodrome in Springfield.  I would consider their pizza back then to be the best in Springfield.  I decided to try Paramount Pizza again after a hiatus of several years and was pleased to see and taste that their pizza is still as good as ever.  The one thing that makes their New York style pizza so delicious is the crust. It is slightly doughy but also ever so crispy.  I know that most people tend to throw away the pizza crust after eating all of the cheesy goodness off pizzas, but you do not want to throw this crust away! One bite and you will be hooked.

The interior is rather ugly with four beat-up tables, a TV on the wall, and just the counter where you can order your food.  This place is definitely not designed to be a sit-down diner as most of their business is take-out or delivery.  The area of town is slightly seedy as it is on the edge of the business district and on the edge of the entertainment district.
