The tl;dr Special

Had to pay a bill in Mahwah this afternoon. After that, since I had a coupon, I went to Mahwah Pizza & Pasta for lunch to give them a try. They had a grand opening recently and I hadn't been there yet. So okay, I went in and saw that it was a pretty standard pizza place, with decor maybe a bit above average. Took a look at the menu and their lunch specials. Handed the plump guy behind the counter the coupon and he told me that it was expired. Huh? The expiration date was 10/7/2007 and it was only September. After a little while, a wiry older fellow came out to see it and said that it was valid.

Anyway, I didn't want to start with anything too complicated, so I just ordered a personal pizza with pepperoni topping. It turned out to be 12 inches in diameter! Not bad though. The thin crust was crispy. However, I'm overall ambivalent about the place and still puzzled by that fellow's date interpretation snafu. I'll decide if I'll go again on the next coupon mailing.
