164.0. "more pizza" by THOTH::FILZ (DTN 223-2033) Wed Jul 12 1989 16:11

    Did you know that the Brother's House of Pizza is becoming the
    Pizza Express.  Big sign on front of building.
    
    Just what the town needs more pizza places.

    Well, since Brothers is changing name (and management), then it
    isn't _more_ pizza places, just not fewer.  Brothers used to have
    fairly good pizzas, and several non-pizza dishes (my wife was partial
    to their onion rings, and the souvlaki was the closest thing to
    a Greek Gyro available this side of the shop in West Concord --
    The Olympian? -- which had Gyros, though not ones I would recommend).
    
    During the last few weeks, Brothers started keeping very strange
    hours, and I learned that it was in some trouble.  I'll have to
    see how the new food goes, but if it's as good....

    I got a pizza there last night. It was okay. The menu is identical to
    Brothers. In fact, they have the exact same menu board posted that
    Brothers had. 
    
    They are also going to start delivering soon.

    Oddly, I got a pizza and a tuna salad there last night.  The Brothers
    pizzas were a bit better, but these are certainly edible.  The delivery
    part sounds real good; we'll see.
    
    Their menu isn't quite as extensive as Brothers.  For one, they
    don't sell souvlaki, which I used to get from time to time.  On
    the other hand, their soft-drink selection is wider.
    
    We'll use them again.

>    They are also going to start delivering soon.
    
    Well, they did start delivering pizza.  As a matter of fact, some high
    school students were ordering pizza for lunch and Pizza Express was
    delivering it to the high school.   The admin took a dim view of this
    and ordered the students to cease and desist.  As a result, some MHS
    students are now _striking_ the cafeteria.  They argue that if the food
    quality was better, then they would get their lunch at the cafeteria.
    
    This is a rumor put together from various sources (one was the Oct 10
    Middlesex News), but its an interesting story if its true.
    
    Perhaps we can use a similar tact with Tobin?

    Well, there is another going in on Rt 27 at intersection of Concord St
    (actually, just beyond it on left).   I think thats 5 in Maynard and 2
    Papa Ginos nearby.

All serves to demonstrate that Pizza is nature's perfect food. :-)
