Nikos re-opening would be nice. Toast looks like it will be fun.
As for Gatsby's: meh, don't care.
I have opinions ;)

Hey now, that's if Phil's ***sources*** are to be believed. I'm just reporting what I'm hearing! ;-)
Meanwhile, I can report for FACT that Blue Corn Cafe has expanded not only into the old Books on Ninth Space, but also into the old High Strung space. High Strung's signage is still on the building, even though they moved several months ago to the 1100 block of Broad St.
In other "Phil is an idiot" things, I only today realized that Amelia has a soup, salad and sandwich menu at lunch. They've had it for a year and I just noticed today. D'oh.

Like I've heard you say before, it would be nice to find a pizza place downtown. Not a bar that happens to serve pizza and not a gourmet pizza place where half the options don't even have tomato sauce. A pizza place with paper plates and Roma soda cups, that makes subs and calls them "subs". But I guess all the rents downtown are going to be too high for any hole-in-the-wall places to ever exist.
I wish Five Points Cafe were a Randy's Pizza...

I Love Manhattan Pizza on 9th is the closest thing. It's not bad.

I Love Manhattan Pizza isn't bad enough that I completely avoid it, but I don't like that the pizza always been sitting out all day. So it tastes like Randy's if I brought a slice from Randy's home and heated it up four hours later.

Sauce is required? It's not pizza if you can't turn the slice upside-down and have all of the toppings fall off.
Ok, maybe it is. :)

It's not pizza if it needs so many toppings to be any good.
If you're a "meat-lover", get a sub. If you're a "veggie-lover", get a salad.

I agree with you on principle, Toastie, and I don't generally make or order pizzas with more than two toppings, but I'm having a hard time reconciling that with how much I like Foster's Greek Spinach pizza.

No doubt that Foster's Greek Pizza is delicious. There are plenty of places that offer a creative take on pizza. I didn't mean to imply that no one should use the label "pizza" unless it's of the New York-style variety, since there's plenty of other styles that can all be considered authentic. (I'm browsing the wikipedia article on pizza). I want some New York-style pizza downtown, somewhere I can go for lunch during the work week.
(The Subway by the Courthouse makes personal pizzas. Subway may make the worst pizzas on the planet, as any FYI to any interested parties who might be tempted to try one someday as an alternative to Jared Fogel 'fit' or Peter Griffin 'feast'...Subway seems to be in the midst of an identity crisis..but that's a story for another day in another blog...).

I couldn't agree more, Toastie. Just watching Pizza Hut and Domino's commercials, with their 6 meat pizzas, grosses me out and irritates me to no end. Some pepperoni or sausage is OK, but I'm a plain cheese pizza fan. If it's good pizza (and I think Randy's is very good pizza) that's all I need.
