"Pizza, Grinders, Cosmic Powers"

Yes, it has bizarre comic book geek theme to the menu that is far comic book geeky-er than me.

New Pizza place, where Pallazzo was, where Monster was before that, on Federal Street opened yesterday. I'm eating "The Gambit" pizza right now. Yum! Blue Cheese Base (which I guess means sort of an inner sauce, rather than chunks) BBQ chicken chunks (sweeter bbq, not quite vinegary enough for me, but not too spicy-hot, so good) and spicy peppeers (the large green type, in ring slices, again not too hot at all.) The peppers are not overly hot like some like, but distinctly add some needed zest to the flavor.

Overall, a lot more flavor than their location's predecesor. I'd say the sauce & cheese are a little too sweet & less spicy (spicy as in herbs and spices) than I like in general, but with a healthy dose from my spice grinders and Franks Hot Sauce (see: Best slightly spicy Vinegar Sauce evar!) all is good in my belly.  Delivery time was fine, and free plus the assumed tip made for a reasonable, typical price for a local pizza place.

I would recommend trying it, and will take Andrea so we can experiment with some of the other oferings. Overall I would say it is a good addition to Greenfield, if not the most new and exciting. Lets face it, the only thing we have more of than pizza places is hair & nail salons.

....ah, and an update. Sadly, these days, a sign of a good pizza for me is if my stomache is aching somewhat after...like from a Village Pizza grease bomb...and I can feel the burn coming on.  Mmm...fat = flavor.
