The Pizza Place

Don't judge a book by its cover.  These are my words of wisdom to you, fellow Yelpers.  

I was slowly navigating my way to Woodstock in search of the hospital that my Grandma was being treated at, when I realized that lunchtime was flying by and I wasn't going to be able to hold out until dinner.  I pulled up my handy, dandy Yelp iPhone app and started to think that I was going to visit a nearby restaurant.  When I pulled into the strip mall's parking lot, I saw a sign for The Pizza Place.  Sure, it's a pizza place.  No really, it's THE Pizza Place.  I hesitated, but thought it would be quick and cheap, so even if it's bad, it'll still be good.  It's pizza and that's kinda how it works.  

I wandered in and I met my long, lost great-aunt...  But seriously, the darling owner reminded me so much of my Great Aunt Antoinette.  I haven't seen my aunt in many years and I just wanted to give the owner a big ol' hug!  She was on the phone taking an order when I walked in, but she smiled and made me feel welcome.  When we started talking, I found that she was helpful in all the best ways.  She's the sort of business owner that you want to buy your slice of pizza from - just so cute and kind that I want to put her in my pocket and take her and her kindness with me!  

They have pizza by the slice.  Both original and the whole wheat crusts.  Their lunch special is a slice for $3, a second slice for $1 and a can of pop for $.75. They have gluten free pizza and pasta, too!

So it's just a random storefront in a non-descript strip mall and there's nothing fancy about these digs, but I swear to you - try the pizza.  Just get a slice of sausage pizza and enjoy!  They make their own crust daily and it is fabulous!!!  I ate a slice of their original crust pizza and decided to indulge in a second slice, but this time went with the whole wheat crust. This was good and light, but not nearly as phenomenal tasting as their original crust.

The customers wandered in one after another in the 20 minutes that I was there. All but one were regulars and I can taste why.  They make a stellar pizza crust!  And provide service with a smile the whole time!!!

The pizza was good and the service was even better! They are super friendly- you don't find that often

Wow!  The owners of this place are so understanding. I have many food allergies, including lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity, and they made me a gluten-free pizza with goat cheese!  They assured me they used a separate set of knives and everything to ensure no cross-contamination. It was the very best gluten-free pizza I've ever had in my many years of trying to get tasty pizza that kept me feeling good after I ate it.  Thanks Pam and Thea!
