So my beloved and I have eaten here a couple of times since being here. Let me be frank. I think that it is overrated. I think the pizza is okay- but it is soggy. I think that it is reasonably priced but it is not exceptional. Honestly, what I think is the best is the

Beloved and I got the special with broccilicini on it.It was perfectly fine but the broccili was was overcooked, and frankly it didn't blend well with the flavors. Their canolli is pretty good. Their coffee is very good. Even though the place is down the street, I don't think we'll make a habit of it.

Goodwill

Wow, I love the Seattle goodwill on Dearborn Street. It is first of all an amazing gathering of humanity. Many languages, creed, ethnicities, colors. It is a little bit like being in Cambridge- with more real and less education. Oh speaking of colors, I LOVE how GoodWill stores organize their clothing according to color. It makes my heart leap with joy when I see it. I love rainbow organization of clothing.

Okay but beyond my emotional response, the Goodwill has just an amazing amount of stuff. It changes over a lot. The furniture selection there is relatively interesting. Beloved and I got a Nintendo 64 and some controllers their for very cheap- some baskets, fabric, and other decent housewares.

As with all goodwill stores it is hit or miss. And though I celebrated the electronics they had it can be a real bear digging through all the baskets and baskets of cords, adapters etc. It's brutal. Some stuff there is crap like cameras and CD's.

As a fan of garage sales, consignment shops, trash, and salvation army/goodwill stores I highly recommend.
