Sometimes the best gifts come in the most shitty-looking and florescent green packages.
Muncheez Pizza LLC perfectly exemplifies the term “hole in the wall”, not only because there are actually holes in their wall, but because it seems like a place more likely to give you scabies than a good meal. But for the Fox Cities residents that have managed to vanquish their preconceptions of the unfortunate-looking business, there exists a unique, affordable and delicious gem in the Appleton pizza scene.
It took me a while to make my way to Muncheez. Despite the, always cool, implementation of a Z instead of an S in its name, I found it difficult to bring myself to a run-down looking structure painted in the off-putting hue of dragon splooge. Moreover, the College Avenue business is just blocks from legendary Italian restaurants Frank’s Pizza and Victoria’s. But once I sacked up and gave Muncheez a chance, I was glad I did.
Once inside, it’s – in many ways – your average local pizza joint. They carry the standard toppings, greasy sides and normal pizza alternatives like subs, salads and wings. Having made the standard single-topping pizza a mainstay, they do it right. But where they really shine is with their specialty pizza.
THE GOOD: A specialty pizza. I’ll admit that I haven’t had most of them, but with choices like: “The Muncheezburger”, “Chicken Bacon Ranch”, and “Mexican Munchfest” – I … uh, I … what was I saying again? I think I started to trail off at “Mexican Munchfest.” In short, Muncheez goes all out in their 14 specialties, and include diverse toppings such as re-fried beans, Mandarin oranges, BBQ sauce, jalapenos and broccoli. Try one. Plus, they’re open until 3 a.m. every day.
THE BAD: Not much, honestly. If you can get past a place looking like it will inflict an unforgiving wave of food poisoning and diarrhea on you by simply stepping through its doorway, you’ll be happy you came.
Total Dick4.
TRY: Eating there when John Gard isn’t there to bring his politics all up in your shit while you want to fucking eat a Goddam jalapeno pizza in peace. If you’re fortunate enough to dine in without this assclown pandering for your vote (I wasn’t so lucky in one of my last trips), you’ll probably enjoy it. If you’re not so lucky, kick this stooge in the scrotum for me.
RATING: Like a 69 of Pizza 3.14.
