Pizza #11 The Pizza House

Audrey was visiting from Tuscan and Chuck recommended that the three of us try out The Pizza House on Lincoln.  He had eaten here over ten years ago and read a good review recently and was game to try it again.  So we went.

Audrey, it turns out, is really a tougher critic than her mother and so I will pass on her more negative views of this restaurant as well as mine.  We both ordered the lunch special - a small pizza, salad and beverage for $6.95.  And Chuck had Rigatoni and a meatball, salad and drink for the same price.  And his came with bread.  It was a very good bargain and we all came away from the meal full with salad to space.

I liked the salad which had a house Italian dressing on it.  Audrey was not a fan of the iceberg lettuce and "lackluster" dressing which was a centimeter thick in the bowl.

Audrey described the ambiance of the restaurant as "store bought."  It has white tables and white tile floors and Italian pictures on the wall. It looks and is clean and I liked our booth a lot.

The cheese pizza was good.  Audrey said it was fine and she could make a better pizza. It had a good crust and was flavorful.

Without a doubt the best part of this restaurant experience for me was the jukebox.  I am learning through this blog that music in the background is important to my dining experience.  When you enter the pizza house, the first thing you see is the jukebox.  They were playing rock music that I did not particularly like.  So, we spent $2 for six songs - including the beach boys, Celine Dion, Billy Joel and Eric Clapton.  I loved that part.

So, I would say, this restaurant has a good value, good and friendly staff and okay pizza. By the way, Chuck liked his meatball!
