Amazonas Pizza - 2427 Telegraph - 10.11.07

OK, we've been awful about posting. I'm going to make a Spring resolution to catch up with my trusty notebook so we can actually get up-to-date.

Amazonas Pizza:

The decor is lacking here. I'd recommend takeout, unless fluorescent lights and linoleum tables staffed with possibly homeless people is your thing.

We ordered our pizza and were told that it'd be a 20 minute wait. This was a bummer until we realized that the Adult Superstore is across the street!

Not being one for porn (truly), I was torn: spend 20 minutes waiting for pizza watching the random passersby, or browse porn titles? Once the second dirty homeless-looking guy came in and asked us if we were exchange students, I decided that porn was looking better.

Favorite titles: "Depraved & Shaved" was the runner-up. "My Hairy Creampie 3," though, was the hands-down winner. I also appreciated the many "special interest" sections, from Indian to MILF. These people really want to please the niche clientele.

Oh, and I learned a new word: jerkoff box. Sweet. (I guess they have these in the back.)

Anyway, the pizza was your average very cheesy, not-super-thin-but-not-thick-either-crusted type that you might find at Round Table. It wasn't great, it wasn't awful. It was a little too cheesy for me, but my PIC (Partner in Chow) liked it just fine.

What we ordered: Vegetarian pizza
Service: friendly, not the quickest (since they have to make the pizza)
Atmo: fluorescent linoleum
Crowd: I'm not sure if the homeless-looking guys counted as customers, but they were in there.
Spent: $20.24
Food rating: 3 sporks
Atmo rating: 1.5 sporks
Overall rating: 2.5 sporks

Overall, with Lanesplitter down the street we give Amazonas a 3 for the food and a 2 for the atmo.
