Used to love this place. Â A big ten special (best breadsticks) was always the best thing ever. Â I can't even count how many big ten's we ordered during college. Â This was our go-to. Â Loved the drivers and always quick and so cheap. Â So yummy! Â There isn't anything special about this pizza, but it is good enough to keep me coming back when I am in town.
Review Source:Snobs will tell u this isnt tasty, or their breadsticks arent actually that good. They're full of crap. The express is tasty, and almost everytime I am back in btown i have to stop in. The big ten deal may never be beaten. Chumps and smug pizza lovers need not apply. This is pizza for the people.
Review Source:Every bite of Pizza X pizza--while not the tastiest, healthiest or greatest quality--takes me back to my first bite freshman year. Â It has that distinctive taste that evokes just the right memories from all of those inebriated nights. Â In fact, I don't think I've eaten it sober. Â It does the absolute best job quenching the drunchies. Â Kudos Pizza X.
Review Source:Pizza Express, or Pizza X as it is now known, is an IU staple. It's the first choice for delivery pizza when my friends order out. However, I'm not a fan. I find the pizza to be dry and not as cheesey as I would like. The breadsticks are somewhat bland. Still, you get what you pay for. It is pretty cheap.
Review Source:Definitely not the best pizza in town, but it's -fantastic- for the price and speed. Very good for the college student on a budget. I mean, you can basically pay $10 for a large pizza, a billion (okay, that's hyperbole -- 10?) breadsticks, and two drinks.
My favorite thing about them, though, is still calling them at midnight, them saying they'll have the pizza to you in "about an hour" and then at 12:05 AM getting a call saying they're already waiting on you.
As far as college pizza and breadsticks go, this place was far and away my favorite. Â Although the prices have gone up since I left (e.g. the "Big 10" is no longer $10), I'm sure it's right along in line with inflation.
The pizza I remember is definitely superior to Domino's. Â The ingredients were fresher and better quality. Â Unique and non-traditional? Â Definitely.
Another local business that would absolutely recommended to those still in school and has been missed greatly since my college days.
They aren't the cheapest, and they aren't the best, but they pretty much are the face of pizza in Bloomington, and they will probably still have stores running after all of us are dead and gone. Â (Probably from heart failure due to too much pepperoni and cheese.)
This locally-owned chain does a take-out/delivery pizza similar in style to Domino's, but with (arguably) fresher ingredients and a better crust. Â Their breadsticks are pretty damn good (more bread than flattened oregano-encrusted Pizza Hut planks of lumber.) Â It's not a complicated setup, and you'll mostly get into this place if you live in the dorms on 10th and walk over, or if you're in a delivery zone. Â It's not sit-down fine dining, but if you're into that and want to give your money to a local business, you can always walk next door to Lennie's, which is run by the same folks.
I'm sure I fondly remember Pizza Express a lot more for the times I got together with friends in the dorms or after way too much drinking to get a few pizzas and keep watching movies or whatever the hell I did back then instead of studying. Â What I also remember most is that their drinks were served in plastic cups with their logos on them, and twelve years after leaving Bloomington, I've still got a couple of them in the cabinets. Â And a few years back, when I was in New York, I went to an art-house screening of this documentary on the white supremacist that shot and killed those people a ways back. Â That is not funny at all, of course. Â What *is* funny is that there's a scene where these skinheads are sitting around babbling about their aryan beliefs or whatever, and everyone is eating pizza and drinking out of Pizza Express cups! Â I just about lost it when I saw that, and I had a lot of trouble explaining to my date what I thought was so damn funny during this movie on hate groups.
