You gotta have a gimmick. It's as true in burlesque (the strippers in the musical "Gypsy" knew what they were singing about) as it is in the food world where restaurateurs do whatever they can to tickle diners, catch their eyes, keep them coming back for more. Sometimes it's big cocktails that turn heads. Sometimes it's food piled high to resemble an architectural tower. Sometimes it's a flaming dessert, either real fire or sparklers.

Don't let the plain, almost homely Lincoln log dwelling fool you. There's nothing sleepy about the restaurant. It's utterly casual, which makes it a perfect place for families, parties or an after-work hangout. Big portions for big appetites is the rule.
The Italian menu includes pizza, grinders, fried calamari, fried eggplant, big salads and burgers.
There's also a long list of hand-dipped milkshakes and old-fashioned sodas. If you like the idea of a pizza parlor with lots of extras, this is your place.
