# 27 Al's Pizzeria






Let me start with that this small pizzeria was a nice surprise. On a cold Sat night decided to bring a pizza home. First, I must admit I even used a coupon, I felt so dirty! When I went to pickup the pizza I was about to leave when the girl asked what type of pop do you want. Now being a guy, we always believe this was code for "Hey good looking, about something special only for you!" Shocked, I simply said Diet Coke, not sure how to respond next, as she was only about 16 years old and could not possibly know about the code. She handled me my free liter of pop and I returned to my car with a little bit of a swagger. Unfortunately, once in my car, I saw on the menu attached to the pizza box that EVERYONE gets a free liter of pop. Well, at last we both had that moment and I have a FREE liter of Diet Coke.

Now the second surprise, the pizza. We ordered a deep dish sausage pizza. It was a very thick pizza, about 4 inches tall. (note, I am demonstrating the size by holding my hands about 12 inches, I mean 4 inches apart.) Overall, the pizza was very good. The crust was nice and crispy, sausage had a nice bit of spice to it and the sauce was good, not too sweet and not overpowering. However, the best part was the cheese, there was a lot of it, not too much but not too little, it was just right. (Note to self, maybe call the girl at the counter, Goldilocks in future telling of this story)

Can this pizza make it into the top 5? It was very good, but unfortunately, stuffed pizza is not one of my favorites, sorry Al's. The pizza was worthy but falls just short of the top 5.
