The menu

Fifteen gourmet pizzas and sixteen omelettes, on one menu.

John’s Original pies come as cheese, white or tomato, round or as a Sicilian square. Fifteen gourmet pizzas follow, from buffalo chicken to Nicole’s White with broccoli, feta, tomatoes and garlic. Mornings bring omelettes, hot cakes, scrapple and the Hungry Man Special; the rest of the day brings steaks, strombolis, hoagies, wraps, platters and pasta, with a special for every day it opens.
