Manhattan Pizza & Subs has been on 7th Street in Phoenix since 1984. I’ve been eating there since 1987. In all that time, only once, in 1987, did I eat a pizza there, at lunch time on a work day. It took them so long to cook it that I got in trouble at work – I had to take it to go, and still I got back to the office late and had to hear about it. (They didn’t actually care that I worked 70 hours a week on unpaid overtime, all they cared was that I was back from lunch before 1:01.)

I didn’t get to enjoy the pizza and I’ve just not tried again. In the intervening 18 years, I’ve eaten hundreds of sandwiches there. I love ’em. Especially the #10, pictured here.

This is my promise to you. I will eat a pizza there in the month of August and review it.

Now that I’ve committed to it, I can’t back out. It’s a done deal.
