I really like Extreme Pizza.  The best way to order is to get a couple of their personal sized pizzas and switch with a friend so that you get half of two different pizzas.  I like the Thai chicken and the Paia Pie pizzas.  Extreme has a really good salads as well and their chocolate chip pizzas are good as a take away.  The single slice specials are huge.  They are almost as big as their personal pizzas.

The chairs are not the most comfortable in the world but they are fine for chowing down for a pizza and taking off.  The ambiance is just good for that; it's really not a destination for hanging out.  They have a patio that is nice too.

Extreme pizza has some interesting combinations and the flavors are not boring!  Give it a try.

Man, all I can say is that this is some pretty fancy fucking pizza, or at least that is what they lead you to believe by their prices.

Six of my co-workers and I decided to have some pizza delivered to the office for lunch on Friday, and this place was agreed upon. We all wanted something different from the typical Papa John's, Pizza Hut, etc, and it was payday so why the hell not?

We ordered fourpizzas. $71.

You heard me. Seventy-one freaking dollars. For pizza!

Pizza#1 was Railroad Grade, which is pepperoni, mushroom, sausage, red onions, and cheddar. It was, truth be told, incredible. They certainly did not skimp on the toppings... It was piled high and layered, and I had to fold the damn slice to keep it all from falling off. Very, very satisfying.

Pizza#2 was Poultry Geist, which is chicken that's been marinated in ranch, with broccoli, onion,  swiss, fontina, gorgonzola, mozzarella and sage. I was a little wary of broccoli on a pizza, but wasn't disappointed in it.. it was just strange. There was something odd about this pizza, mostly in that there was no tomato sauce. I initially thought it was a white sauce of some sort until I realized it was just a buttload of melted cheese. It was okay.... but not worth $20.

Pizza#3 was half and half between Green With Envy and Drag it Thru the Garden. Green With Envy was very, very tasty - pesto with basil, tomato, feta, and mozzarella. Drag it Thru the Garden was.. well, I'm going to have to reference the website for this: "Fresh mushrooms, green peppers, red onions, marinated artichoke hearts, broccoli, tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh tomato sauce and mozzarella or soy cheese." I didn't have a slice, but my co-workers enjoyed it.

Pizza#4 was Paia Pie, which is canadian bacon, pineapple, mandarin orange slices, mozzarella, and cheddar. I pulled off the pineapple as I've never been big on the hawaiian pizza thing, but the remainder was very good.

My gripes: The cost, and the onions. Any pizza that came with onions came with a TON. I guess it's like Subway, how they'll load up your sandwich with lettuce. It's cheap filler I imagine.. but all of my co-workers were pulling it off because there was so much.

This was definitely a higher quality pizza than your average pizza joint, and the toppings were all fresh and tasty. Try it if you're looking for something different, but be prepared to pay out the ass.

Update 7/11/08: wtf, they closed. :(
