The owner is dubbed as the
Napkin/ketchup Nazi, he keeps everything hidden behind the counter. If you order a large fry he'll literally give you two ketchup packets.
Bet you didn't know you were being filmed that last time
I mean, I don't know, I've never had to ask the guy for ketchup, but he's always been pleasant enough to me.
If you need to drown your fries in ketchup
they probably aren't very good. Although I've never quite understood the whole napkin frugality bit I've encountered at many places - it's not like they're super expensive.
Two packets is plenty of ketchup
for a single "fry"
The great staff turnover
I love their pizza, but wonder about who works there/owns the place. In the roughly 20 years that they have been open, every 3 to 5 years, every single person who works there mysteriously turns over all at once. For 5 years you'll have the same guy taking orders and the same guy making pizzas and then - poof - they are all gone, replaced by a new crew. When you ask, "What happened to the other guy?" they give you some vague answer.
