I FULLY back your Papa John’s, Domino’s, and Pizza Hut feelings and can’t staaaand it when people refuse to admit that chain restaurants are chains for a reason. I used to work across the street from Maffei’s at the now-defunct Chelsea B&N and loved their buffalo chicken pizza. A lot of NYC pizzas taste entirely spice-less to me, but the buffalo sauce on that chicken was dreamy.

huge fan of maffei’s; indeed their entrees are amazing; all the fried seafood, the chicken dishes, etc. slice has gotten worse over the years and is now extremely sloppy.

Holy shit…… I expected the humorless part but lack of math skills……. never saw it coming.

The Disneyfication of ML is complete, Fonzie has donned the skis.

@chinolam,

Similar thing happened to me, except in Vermont while eating sauerbraten at an ‘upscale’ restaurant. Lost half of tooth (#3 in dentist’s terminology).

To save the tooth, I had a root canal, and then a crown, which I later found out was made in frickin’ china.

Now I have strange, uncontrollable urges to speak chinese (just kidding on that part, fortunately).

Cost me a bundle for that little ‘restaurant’ fiasco. And then people ask me what I have against ‘restaurants’?

Haha. I didn’t call you guys the JV squad or B-Team. I have referred to you as Zach’s A-Team (he choose each of you for a reason and a purpose – keep ML Midtown NYC alive!). I can’t expect the newly-formed crack commando unit to ascend to top of the mountain from the get-go. Everyone has to be patient and give you all time. Gotta also have faith that you will come through for ML too.

I want some chicken parm and spaghetti for dinner now. Uughhh.

Weird. Guess what’s in my office right now. A bunch of leftover Maffei’s pizzas.

@Bossman… Why didn’t they just round it off to $500? I feel you though. I once ate some crunchy cluster cereal and bit onto something hard. I was persistent and kept crunching the cluster down. I later realized 2/3 of my molar was gone. I guess I ate my tooth?

First off, I’m sorry. The tone of that note was a bit (semi) anonymous Internet Assholish of me, and I apologize.

Second, uhm, yeah, that was a pretty important paragraph that was left out there!
