    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.

    This isn’t even all the Olive Gardens in New Jersey.

    There’s some Olive Gardens that didn’t make the cut.

    Maybe they get less fresh bags of frozen soup delivered?

    Maybe the pre-cooked steaks just aren’t the same at every joint?

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

      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.

    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.
