Greek's Pizzeria is actually a chain, but since most of their locations are in Indiana I guess I can consider it a local restaurant, right? No? Well, by golly, it's my blog and I'll write if I want to.... We went to the one located in a you-know-what kind of building on the southwest corner of Emerson and Stop 11 Road, a very simply but pleasantly decorated place with red and white checkered oil cloth tablecloths. They serve beer and wine at what looked to be more than reasonable restaurant prices, and the pies are not outrageously expensive, either. TLW got the small (9") Chicken Fajita Pizza for like $6.95 and I opted for the Saturday special, a 12" Lotto pizza for eleven-something bucks. A Lotto pizza? The waiter/manager explained it is where you just kinda say "Hit me!" and they make a pizza with a little of this and a little of that, whatever strikes the chef's fancy. I had mixed feelings about it, but what the heck, how bad could it be? You know what they say about sex and pizza! (Read the Aunt Polly's post if you don't remember da joke.)
The great thing about her Chicken Fajita pizza was that even though it had spicy chunks of grilled chicken and jalapeno slices, it still tasted like pizza, unlike Pizza Hut's Mexican Pizza which tasted like a big taco. The white sauce was good and the jalapeno's were not hot, just enough to nicely flavor the pie. My Lotto had two pieces that were green pepper & onion, two that were chicken and bacon, two sausage and black olives, and two fajita chicken & bacon. All were quite good. I like how they didn't skimp on the cheese but you could still taste the red sauce, which was just a little sweet for my taste, although it went well with my Diet Pepsi. "WHAT? No beer? What kinda barfly are you?!" you might say. This is one exception to my drunken ways-- no beer, no wine, NUTTIN' tastes as good with pizza as a good ole' cola. I guess we won the lotto wit dis place! (Insert groan here.)
