I called it. Shitty pizza and shitty service. Looked like a bunch of meth heads. I went on a weekday during the day a month after it opened.

His other spot, Bengal Tap Room, closed permanently out of nowhere a few days ago as well.


Also, a USS Kidd's worth of bad Google reviews

How are Jimmy, Robert, and John doing these days? Odd they would pop into BR for some suds and a slice.

Looks like chocolate as well. Some attempt at a dessert pizza, maybe?

True, but at the end, when Bonzo and Jimmy were in the depths of the drug portion of sex/drugs/rock & roll In Through the Out Door was kinda meh.



Does nobody know the name of the pizza place on Perkins?

They are, but i'm not sure what a british rock band knows about Pizza.

RED ZEPPELIN makes some pretty good pizza, IMO. The guys over at Led Zeppelin should probably talk to them.

Had it once. Crust was thin and soft. Almost had to use a fork to eat it.
