Garlex Pizza and Ribs
With 5 kids in tow I had the chance to finally try out the Pizza place across the street -

Going in I was surprised by the interior. It looked like an old place from the outside so I expected a more of an old, homey feel. The interior was pretty plain, stark and small. Looking over the counter I could see that the dining area was only a small fraction of the total floorspace, giving the impression that the business was a front for some kind of illegal activity. It looked clean though, except for the flies.
The three pre-teen boys sat together at a table, and when I tried to sit at an adjacent table I was politely asked to sit somewhere else (so I couldn’t hear what they were talking about). My daughter and the younger brother of one of the other boys sat next to the TV, which was playing a made-for-TV movie on Action 36. It starred Meridith Baxter-Birney as the mother of a kidnapped girl. I sat down next to them, and this time wasn’t asked to move.
The pizza was OK and they gave us two larges for the price of a large and a small, ensuring me a lunch of reheated pizza for the next week.
One of my son’s friends, who I’ll call destructo-boy, started banging his soda can violently on the table for no apparent reason, causing the manager to come out and tell him to knock it off. Other than that (and the flies) our experience at Garlex was a positve one!
