Reply to comment by bartnd in Worcesters Best Pizza? It certainly isn’t from Frankie’s by OandKrailroad
This isn't in Worcester, strictly speaking, but the Specialty in Holden has excellent brick-oven pizza too.

If it’s the building I’m thinking of, it’s the Crown Castle Fiber’s colo data center at 474 Main st.

Might be a rough take but I think a lot of love goes to Frankies due to just being different.
90% of the pizza in Worcester is Greek style and most of them taste the same.
Outside of the generic greek-style you have:
- Birch Tree Bread: Often mentioned with Volturnos, it provides another (and I'd agree with those who say better) break from the Greek style.
- Volturno: brick-oven which gets a lot of love
- Antonio's: Brand recognition due to the number of toppings. Decent for a quick bite but the Worcester location is over-hyped.
- Ciao Bella: still Greek-style but slightly better than the 90% mentioned above.
- Newton Square Pizza: A thinner crust option that might fit the bill if you like Frankies but want something thicker than tissue paper underneath
- Blue Jeans Pizza: Thinner crust like Frankies/Newton Sq/Papa Ginos but some weird cheese blend that seems to turn translucent. Decent taste, but personally feel like it's overhyped.
- Olo: I can't really speak for it as I haven't been since the changeover from Dacosta's but they seem to be well received.

This is probably correct.

It's one of my favorite buildings in Worcester because it highlights exactly why this city died in the first place.
Let's tear down all the old brick of main street and replace it with parking lots and toss up the most bland, boring, beige and black, no windows or defining feature, just an ugly ass chunk of building smack dab in the center of downtown. With a massive parking lot to make sure it wastes as much space as possible.

If you want to save the birds, ban all cats and buildings with glass windows: https://www.statista.com/chart/15195/wind-turbines-are-not-killing-fields-for-birds/

Should be called "I Like Frankie's", it's good, especially for delivery in Worcester, but it's not really even in running for best pizza.
Deadass tastes like Papa Gino's though, so they get points for nostalgia there.

Oh cool! I might stop in today! Thanks!

Could be because it was killing a lot of birds. Have you ever been under a windmill before? It's a bird killing field. If you kill a bald eagle you go to jail for 10 years, but Windmills wipe them out left and right.

Local folks round these parts turned it off to eliminate Martian landings. " Not in my neighborhood, you space alien bastards" is a phrase you'll commonly hear in the area.

I think they also may scan/enter plates in their handheld device.

It's weird how the 13th Amendment bans all kinds of compulsory labor except as punishment for a crime, and they definitely could have added "except jury duty doesn't count" but they chose not to, and the amendment is written in plain unmistakable English instead of legalese, impossible to misunderstand, but literally every court in the country says "yeah but we're just gonna make jury duty compulsory anyway."

I ended up being fine- yay!
​
I wasn't asking about during the declared ban, just in general.
It baffles me how they track it without meters. I've heard of meter maids writing down plate #s with a pen and paper the old fashioned way, or marking the tires/pavement with chalk. But I'm not sure I've ever seen it in practice.

20+ years ago, I showed up at the old dungeon courthouse in a Bud Light tshirt. For a DUI case. I went home quickly.

You can always pop in and hang at the bar to meet people if you don’t know anyone who currently plays. You can also drop your name and number at the front desk. Sometimes there are other free agents in your situation who are looking to make a new team.
