"It was after church today, my wife asked me if I'd like to go to our regular lunch spot in the neighborhood. Normally I'd have said yes but I had spoken to my physical therapist this week (she's helping me recover from a broken knee and shattered tibia) and we'd traded back and forth places each of us has tried. My physical therapist mentioned Julian's Italian Pizzeria Kitchen. I hadn't been to it. Today was my opportunity to suggest Julian's to my wife and so we both dined there in the early afternoon. We entered the restaurant and found it to be near packed with customers on a Sunday afternoon. A near packed place with customers is a very good sign. We placed our order and sat at a table they'd picked out for us. Both of us chose the slice of pizza, salad and drink lunch special for under $10 each. I liked the atmosphere which set the tone in a positive way for me. The salad arrived at our table first and I was super happy I opted for their house Italian dressing on the salad. I'm usually a ranch dressing type guy but when I heard they had their own house Italian dressing then it was a must for me. Loved the dressing, the fresh salad ingredients and the portion size. Speaking of portion, that slice of pizza was huge!!! It was the size of an entire small pizza. I only managed to finish half of it but I'm not complaining at all. Now I have lunch ready for Monday thanks to the carryout container they kindly supplied to me. The pizza slice? I loved the crispy crust which has a crunch when you bite into it. Loved the ingredients which I should note allows for two toppings on the lunch special. I opted for pepperoni and mushrooms. My wife and I agreed that we will definitely be coming here more often. Who did I see? Entire families including kids under ten years old, older AARP aged couples, younger couples on dates and the two of us (which includes a self employed person himself). Support small business as often as you are able."
