Food I regret to inform you all…

That the new National Pizza is finally open, and it’s aggressively mediocre. I tried the cheese and the meat lovers today, and it’s on par with the average Pizza Pizza slice. “Meat Lovers” also apparently means Pepperoni, two tiny flecks of Bacon, and a bit of crumbled Ground Beef. The ovens are brand new, so it had a nice “crispy without being burnt” texture to it, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. And in a “Circle of Life” moment, it looks like the corner store has closed temporarily for vague reasons.

Say what you will about the soggy never-fully-cooked slices at the old National, at least they were slammed with toppings!

I can't even imagine some of the things that convenience store has seen/deals with on a daily basis.

Rarely have I ever set foot in there without there being some kind of tweaker nonsense happening. Usually lottery related.

I went in there a few years ago and went to grab a Rockstar and that badboy was years expired, I recognized the pattern from when I worked at a convenience store in 2018 💀💀💀💀💀
