    There’s a pizza place near me. Great place, wins all sorts of awards and is routinely listed as one of the best places in the area.

    They have a Domino’s across the street.

          It should bother you. It takes a certain level of community involvement to keep any institution going, whether it’s a pizza place, or a public library, or a thriving democracy.

    Pasta Applebees is terrible in general, but the breadsticks are decent. Like Red Lobster and the biscuits.

    New Jersey has a ton of Italian Americans, but they largely are descended from Sicilians. Olive Garden is not Sicilian style, while most smaller Italian restaurants in New Jersey are.

    My husband, descended of Sicilians, fucking loves Olive Garden and it does my head in every time I think of it

    (Its not his favorite place, he just likes it a lot)

      I think it’s better now than it used to be. Everything they make is good, really.

        It’s honestly fine, we just live in NJ. So there’s like…fifty billion better local places! I too like that soup though, I will admit.
