Quotes
"I understand why this is a favorite and everyone says, go to Joe's, go to Joe's. Get a slice of Joe's."
"I feel like they've probably inflated the price a bit because they know every single tourist is going to go there."
"It's a bit more cheesier. It's definitely a bigger slice. Crunchy crust. Nice base. Look at that. Holding well. Right. Ratios. Heavy on the tomato sauce. Cheese doesn't remind me of them store-bought pizzas that you have when you're three years old. This ain't bad. I understand why this is a favorite and everyone says, go to Joe's, go to Joe's. Get a slice of Joe's."
