City Pizza, Front & Snyder


I was heading down to Best Buy to pick up an answering machine when I caught a big staple right in my rear tire (frustratingly; I had spent the morning waiting for this brand new set of tires to arrive, and hadn't ridden a mile and a half before this first flat). Ok, I say, it's a good chance to sit down and check out the neighborhood.

The first thing I do is get off Columbus Blvd. and walk over to Front, which is really a different world. I sit down on the curb in front of a convenient store and fix the flat, and then mosey down a block to Snyder, where I find City Pizza.



I order two slices and a coke, and stand outside on the corner and eat. The crust is sweet and flavorful - very tasty - with a good crispy texture and a chewy crumb. There's little stratification between the crust and the cheese, which is fine but not spectacular. The slices are relatively dry, and drip almost no oil.

The corner is nice. It's the middle of the afternoon, warm but not hot. I ride on.
