Two visits. One good. One, not so good. After the sun goes down, here in this small town, there are not a lot of options for 'late' night food. This place has two of them. As I discovered, this mash up is also the teen ager hangout spot. Both of my trips here, I had to wade through a flash mob of kids, with nothing better to do for the evening (they were not any bother, other than blocking parking spaces). Saturday, after spending the day at the Roadkill Cookoff Festival, we decided to get a pizza, from the Godfather's Pizza side of the place: It is a gas station/Quik Stop/Godfather's/Subway mash up (might have been a deer check in station, as well. Not sure). We've had the pizza here before (specifically, after last years RCF), and as it was then, it has not changed that much. Pliable dough (reminds me of the pre-made doughs that so many of the chains are now using - nothing beats a hand tossed pie). The expected soy/grain 'beef' topping mixture (unless cows are now made out of bread dough) tasted like something. Not exactly sure. Did not have the taste or texture of real beef. Also on the pie (half) was pineapple (the other half had 'beef' and mushrooms). The pineapple was wonderful. Large, juice filled pieces of fruit, that mixed well with the tomato paste feel, tangy/sweet sauce. It was the sauce that put this over for me. The 'beef'/mushroom side was good. Large slices of mushroom. And gooey, melted cheese. So so, crust. It isn't Vinny's. Nor is it Joe and Mimma's. Nor is it Anna's. However, it wasn't Domino's or Pizza Hut either. It was a slightly better grade fast food chain pie. Not the best. Not the worst I have had. It was small town, Hooterville, this is the only place open that I could find pizza, and with that in mind, it was good enough for my aching feet pizza. We were satisfied. 3 Stars. Fast forward to Sunday evening. I arrive, deciding to try the Subway side of the mash up. Now, the last diner in town, that I wanted to go to here, closed up after church (2 PM) so my dinner choices were very limited. I guess I caught them at a bad time. The gal behind the counter started to take my order (lets call her gal A), when Gal B, comes beside me, and gets into a discussion with her, about the work habits of Gal C. Gal D was sitting at the desk doing paperwork, not paying attention to any of this. Gal B just leans over the counter and talks through me. I guess I was in her way. I got to shoe horn in what I wanted. The conversation finished, and Gal A looked around and told me she could not find what I had asked for. I changed my order, and after we got to the veggie part, when I asked for tomatoes, there were 3 small end pieces left. When I gave her my Subway card to flash, after repeated attempts she discovered that she had not turned the reader on. I gathered up my bag with another sammich than I wanted and left. At that point Gal A started in, on Gal D, about Gal C's work habits. My sammich was not that good. In fact, it was dreadful. But, as the town had rolled up the streets, it was the only game in town (unless I wanted to have Godfather's two nights in a row). 1 Star. Makes me wish I had saved some left over Roadkill for dinner that night. Your mileage will vary. Mine did. From one night to another. @Removeyourhat
