???

I mean stand alone Godfather's, not at a gas station

[ddavidson8]

Seriously, we lose places like Crystals for this?

Never tried the convenience station variety. I really enjoyed my time with the franchise that operated units in Tulsa 30 odd back, and the product we produced did pack folks in.

Crystals, Falcone's, and Godfathers. Best damn pizza.

And no shots at CiCis. We took the little monster there last weekend and I was really stunned at how good some of the pizza was, coming from an assembly line type of place. And as a still somewhat shell-shocked new parent, its so great to have somewhere where you can get out with the baby and it doesnt matter one bit if he yells or screams, because he wont be louder than the t-ball awards ceremony or the 6-year old spinning around in circles trying to make himself fall down.

Yeah...for the people who haven't gone to CiCis for several years, it is way better than it used to be and the stores are really clean. At one point I was scared to eat there, but they are a lot nicer now.

RE: CiCis, I pop in there from time to time (23rd and Meridian) and place is pretty much unchanged. Busy, noisy and badly bussed tables. The Pizza varies but if you special order it, can be decent. Otherwise it has been on the buffet for any length of time, degrades to the low end of a frozen pizza. there sald bar is extremely limited and the pasta choice is less than in the past. But for the price, overall is ok.

RE: Falcone's, some of the worst pizza I have ever had. If this place is authentic New York style, then NY can keep it (had always heard raves about NY style). I do love the decor (Godfather movie posters and Sinatra playing though).

I visited what I believe is the last remaining Crystal's when my son and I went to the Cotton Bowl this past January. It was an incredibly disappointing experience. The place looked as if it hadn't been cleaned since the '80s, the pizza was brutal, and the entertainment consisted of 30 year old games and slot machines modified to take tokens. They do have a house magician, but he wasn't working that night.

It did have that Crystal's motif I remember, but the place was so dirty, it just didn't matter.

[SkyWestOKC]

Don't let your children anywhere near the house magician at Crystal's in the Dallas area.

Let's just say he blew one of those long balloons up, and then made sure to stick the entire 3 foot long balloon down his throat while you are eating.

Did a Crystal's (or maybe it was a Casa Bonita) reopen in Tulsa early last year?

Casa Bonita

Can't speak to CiCi's elsewhere in the greater metro, but the one in Norman is passable. Not my fav pizza by any stretch of the imagination (JJ's here gets that nod, and has for years) but it is passable, and getting fresh out the oven pizza is as simple as asking. Grab a salad and some soup, maybe a slice and put in your request. By the time soup and salad are enjoyed, here comes your special order.

The Q is fairly tasty when it's straight out the oven. Again, it's no JJ's, but it'll more than do for a fast lunch or grab a bite quick becasue there's an event you need to get to.

Sounds pretty much like our last visit to the Crystal's at NW Expressway and Rockwell years ago. Wasn't surprised when they closed the doors a few months later; the concept had clearly run out of steam.

Anyone remember Peter Pipers pizza?

[Soonerman]

Anyone remember Peter Pipers pizza?

They still have one in Roswell NM.

[Larry OKC]

Think there is a P.P. in Tulsa as well

[oneforone]

Peter Piper Pizza - The Food's as Good as the Fun.

[MonkeesFan]

I guess not because I went to the website and they don't have any Peter Piper's in Oklahoma anywhere

[decepticobra]

they are changing the name to Shotgun Sam's Pizza

[decepticobra]

I want Godfather's pizza back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

drive down I-35, towards Marietta, take exit 29. the Love's gas station is the only place left I know that sells it.

[decepticobra]

Crystals, Falcone's, and Godfathers. Best damn pizza.

you need to try this small pizzeria right across from OU campus in Norman. I forget the name, but its a small place with dine in available. The owner is born and raised out of Brooklyn, NY..so he knows what real pizza should taste like.

You want REAL NYC style pizza, go to Papa Angelo's in DT Bethany, now that is some excellent NYC pizza, better than just about any I've had in NYC.

The Love's at 122nd and I-35 also sells it... And its pretty good if you get it fresh. You can also call up and order pizzas also.

I think you're referring to New York Pizza & Pasta. There's also Sandro's on Main Street across from Norman High (same family, not really any different from the original that I've noticed other than the name and a much smaller location). I definitely prefer them over Falcone's (not even close, IMHO). Always thought Falcone's was overrated.

The Pizza was awful. Hopefully the new owners can invest something in their Pizza.

Is that past Yukon? That is the only place I know of
