As you can see the surroundings are either frightening or oddly spooky. More than likely because of this Parking is a breeze!
The simple storefront led us into expecting a simple pizza place, we would soon learn the truth.
We headed inside to find a layout we have not come across in the months of We're Hungry. There are a lot of tables set up almost in a Deutschland Cafeteria. Lots of tables in a square shaped area. YOU DO NOT SIT DOWN FIRST! You walk up to the counter and order what you want right then and there then grab a seat and wait.
After we ordered we noticed the other part of the restaurant, The Bar/ Lounge Area. Off to the side from the main eating hall was this basement style chillax area. Large leather couches and big comfy chairs await you in this area as well as a Vizio LCD Televsion, showing a Cat Trade Show! We all found this fascinating, especially John.
Here is the bar area, no one was sitting here and it didn't seem to get much use. We greatly appreciated the effort as it gave the place a very comfortable basement vibe which we are all accustomed to.
THE MEAL!
THE MEAL!
MEATBALLS! Richard should've just ordered these because they are whopping in size! Taste wise I would have to say they were very authentic and held they shape as they were bitten into! +1!
John got this! We think its Lasagna!
Ahmed got this! Some kind of Breaded Sauce!
SAUSAGE AND PEPPERONI PIZZA! These reeked of FCPS style pizza. I mean look at the shape! Clearly the chef went to Lake Braddock and just felt the need to improve upon the pizza he had eaten for 12 straight years. One would normally think this was a criticism of the pizza but that couldn't be farther from the truth, we all loved the FCPS Pizza!
LADIES NIGHT! This place had a higher concentration of women than any other restaurant we've been to! All MILFs by the way. John thought they were more than likely a Lesbian Group who met at Pizzeria Venti every week to discuss lesbain things.
John drowned his bread and made a guy taking a sauce bath. Notice the bread arms and head sticking out screaming for help, or enjoying the relaxation. You decide!
Final Notes:
Pros: Ahmed said the place was 'good'
Ahmed loves the basement vibe but suggests a table be added to the mix so you can eat in the lounge, he also gave the meatballs an A+.
John was underwhelmed.
We all loved the bathroom except John who seemed to have had an unpleasant time in there, he gave us no details on what went down.
!!!SWEATER ADVISORY!!! It's drafty in this place!
We realized at the end of the meal that we should've taken the cannolis. Damn.

Special Note
In hindsight we all felt that Pines of Florence was the far better restaurant even though it received a lower score. We will try to keep this from happening again.
i want all of that stuff
