What One's Eating: Zito's Pizza

Yesterday I had a half-day at work because I had scheduled a routine eye-exam in the afternoon. With some time off, I had a chance to grab some lunch with Lynn, Jasmine, Bruce, and Cesar at the local Zito's Pizza.

Jasmine had won this $25 certificate at the Learn To Be benefit dinner but never got around to using it, primarily because she and Bruce never could justify spending $25 in a single meal at this spot. The 5 of us total ended up racking a bill up to almost $45.00, but 4 of us ended up paying $5 each for 2 sodas, a large pizza, medium pizza, and garlic knots. Sweet deal.


This spot is right next to our high school. We came here a few times back in the day when it was Rudy's Pizza. Memories.

Pepperoni! Delicious, but really greasy. Definitely a dabber. (Click to enlarge.)


BBQ Chicken. Also very good.


Garlic knots drenched in garlic, oil, and butter. Dusted with parmesan cheese and cornmeal.


Final verdict: the food was good but kind of pricey. Unfortunately for us, the next day was when they were going to introduce a completely brand new menu. We missed out. =\

Ended the meal with some Rite-Aid ice cream next door. I just noticed that they still have it as "Thrifty's" inside. This was home to many happy summerdays back in our childhood. I'm glad it's still here.


My favorite: Cookies & Cream. These used to be $0.69 a scoop! Their prices were as jacked up to $1.39 a scoop. Right now: $0.99 a scoop. Nice.
