Primo Pizza no longer "primo"

Primo Pizza in Kempsville was a staple of my youth, being both very easy to walk to and very easy for a 13 year old to afford a slice or two.  I still remember the skinny, pale faced balding dude that seemed to run to show for nearly 10 years, always sweating it out behind the counter next to their four stainless steel pizza ovens.  

Alas, he is gone, the pizza has suffered and the interior looks more like a Macaroni Grill or Viva! Italian Restaraunt.  Gone are the black and white checkered tiles that define local pizza dives.  The walls and tables are now covered in wood flavored vinyl panels and cheesy Olive Garden style decorations.  

And, the most important part, the pizza, has been reduced to much.  I ordered a medium pepperoni, took 30 minutes to make.  The dough just doesn’t taste right anymore.  Its very chewy, which is exactly what you don’t want in a pie.  Not only that, but they couldnt fit a medium pizza in a medium pizza box, so they split the pie in half, and shoved one side under the other, not only ripping the cheese and toppings off the submissive side, but not allowing it to dry properly and turning it into a sloppy, unedible mess.

Place kinda sucks now, durd.

Current faves…

Assante’s pepperoni, Private Selection Margherita Pizza.
