Pizza by the slice!

Chicago

Lexington, KY

Charleston, WbgV

Warm Springs, VA for cryin' out loud

It's a start

Kevin's got the scoop that Rue Cler is selling pizza by the slice at lunch time over there on East Chapel Hill Street.

By the slice, bitches!

Ninth Street didn't have to do without pizza by the slice for too long, now, did it? How long before we see this sign, or one like it, inside the loop?
