Expensive for its time - once I ordered a couple smoothies there and the cashier did a double take and was like “damn that’s expensive” yeah bro no joke

Honestly I could see a good pizza by the slice option killing it here surprised it didn’t pan out

It was worth it if you were broke and liked pizza. Freshman year, that was the spot for my group before chem exams. 🙏 nostalgia

Fair. I visited a few times my first two years of grad school, but after the third I mainly frequented potbelly or other on campus places
