Sit down and allow me to tell you a little story of how i had the most delectable pizza of my life. It was just a normal day until I went to the dining hall at UNF. When I left that glorious building, I knew my life was changed for the better. This was the most juicy and warm slice of pizza I had ever put to my mouth. It was beautifully cut and it glistened in the fluorescent lighting of the dining hall. I couldn't just have one, I needed more. I grabbed another slice as quickly as I could and made sure to add a hint of basil which complimented the pie wonderfully. I cant ever forget about this pizza. It motivates me to keep going every day just hoping that ill be in its presence in the future. If anyone says that this place was underwhelming or that the sell dog food, they're lying. Don't listen to them.
