Believe it or not I am pleasantly surprised in a good way by Rex's Pizza.  If you go from 5-7 PM Mon - Thurs you can get $1.00 slices and $2.50 beers.  My little daughter loves happy hour here - the slices not the beers!

I also got a tuna melt and a slice of Baklava to go one time.  The melt was really good.  Hot & fresh on rye bread.    The baklava was little dry.  I wouldn't get it again.

Meanwhile, this place is a little run-down and old-school (with plastic swivel chairs and orange booths.  But it's on our way from school to home - so for $1.00?  Ya can't beat it.  (Regular price $2.10 for a plain jumbo slice.)

Not sure how they are for take out - but i do know they have delivered MANy pizza's to my little one's old day care.  Every Wednesday was Rex pizza for lunch.

Oh - and the owner (maybe manager) guy is really nice.  And kinda cute - but he probably thinks I am waaaaay old.

Simply for the mozzarella sticks.  Nothing else.

Eh. A pretty decent BLT, but it took like 20 minutes to make. The pizza is fine, a little expensive for what it is, but passable. They do sell beer, for whomever wants a lunch break beverage.

It's fine, for a little midday grease, but the food trucks in the area are generally better.

My relationship with Rex is complicated.  It is yet another Foodler-related weakness of mine.  The moz sticks are good, the chicken fingers are good, and their italian grinder is good - when they follow the instructions.  However, they often forget parts of my order or get it completely wrong.  It seems like the food is completely different depending on who is cooking it.  Sometimes you get a sandwich covered in a pile of WTF and you're bummed because who wants to deal with sending something delivery back?  Clearly not someone who is so lazy they will order from a 3 star Yelped place on Foodler regularly.

I would give a 0 stars to this place if i could.  

1) It took them 1 hour to deliver my food
2) The delivery man would not get out of the damn car to deliver my food because he was double parked
3) I ordered a vegetarian wrap--it had sausage in it.  HELLO??

Screw this place, freals.

i'm a carnivore. so any burger joint is a-ok for me! this place is family owned i believe. it is small and has small booths to sit in and enjoy some greasy food.

i have popped in here for lunch when i feel i need a dose of beef. their cheeseburgers are juicy and the cheese is white. the fries are ok. the prices are a bit steep for a cheeseburger, but i suspect it is due to their location.

the place is not quiet. delivery people are dropping by to pick up orders. there are about 4 cooks frying up stuff in the back.

this place is one step up from a fast food joint, but it is about the same quality.

but like a true carnivore, i chomped chomped my burger. herbivores beware of this place!
