Half Price Pizza...that's Amore!

Forno

I realized the other night while writing this blog entry that I have been eating at a lot of good restaurants lately. They are not the type of places that everyone eats at because they are not the cheapest places to have a meal at. However, this post is for the working man that may not like to go out to fancier restaurants or places you might pay a pretty penny to eat at. On Mondays, at a pizza place near my work called Forno, you can get half price slices of pizza. The guys that I work with go every week, but this was the first week that I decided to go.

This place is pretty full at lunch time on Mondays because they offer such a great deal. I ordered a slice of plain and a slice of buffalo chicken pizza. Anytime I can order buffalo chicken pizza I take advantage of that opportunity because I love buffalo chicken anything. They offer many different kinds of pizza at Forno, all of which looked very good.

The waitress brought our pizza to the table in a very timely fashion, which was great because I only get an hour for lunch. The first thing I did was cover my cheese pizza slice in crushed red pepper. When I bit into the slice; I was thoroughly impressed. I once heard Guy Fieri of the Food Network say “Pizza is one of those things that if you do it right it is amazing, and if you mess it up its still pretty good”, or something to that effect. I would definitely agree with him, and in this instance, Forno did a great job with their pizza.

The cheese pizza was my first bite. The cheese was melted to perfection, and there was a healthy amount of sauce beneath it. The crust was thin and crunchy, the perfect contrast to the gooiness of the cheese. The crushed red pepper that I added was just the right addition to give each bite a bit of tang.

The buffalo chicken was also pretty on point. I like my buffalo chicken pizza a bit spicier, but overall it was good. There was a good amount of chicken that was spread out evenly over the slice, and there was enough buffalo sauce on it to make every bite flavorful and tasty.

Needless to say, I will definitely be going back to Forno on Mondays with the guys from now on. I do not know too many places out there where you can get a good, satisfying meal for only $2.51 (I ordered a glass for water, it would be a bit more if you wanted something else to drink). Hopefully you can get to Forno sometime when you are looking to save some money or if you are just looking for some good pizza! When you get there, give me a shout and let me know how it was!!
