Pizza at a perfect price

Last Saturday a new pizza joint opened in town - Little Ceasars on South Second right next to Safeway on Rainier Ave. This is a franchise, to be sure, but it is owned and operated by the Singh family who hail from Kent. This is their third pizza store, with the two others located in Burien and White Center. Pictured above is Harpeet, daughter of owner Mohan Singh and she is holding there 50th Anniversary special pizza, plain cheese or pepperoni, which is only $5. No need to preorder, call, limit your purchase - this is the pizza that fits any budget. My Mom had one today - not too shabby! The special, Harpeet informs me, will go on for sometime, so everyone will have a chance to sample their wares.

I love a family run business - it just makes my little heart beat faster with joy. Both the owner's daughter and nephew were working today and the store was spotless. I am certain that they will do well - what Renton High School kid won't be there this coming Fall or a hungry grocery shopper for that matter.

Soon there will be sandwiches

Soon there will be hot, fresh sandwiches in Renton. Bahn Mi Vietnamese sandwiches and traditional American sandwiches on bread that is baked right on site and a coffee bar where you can get your caffeine hook-up to boot. Note the lovely and inviting fireplace as well. Hard to imagine it this week, but this will be a toasty destination once the wetness remembers to fall from the sky and our temperature numbers begin to drop in the Fall.

The project is moving quickly apace and next month is slated for the Grand Opening of Go Deli, which is owned by Pho Hoa Noodle Soup Restaurant on the corner. After a mere handful of months since opening my new favorite dessert spot, Yoggi Yogurt just around the corner, I am impressed that the owners were willing to move on this new investment so fast. However, with no bakery in the vicinity and no sandwich shop nearby to fight for our hungry stomachs attention, I feel certain that this will be a successful venture right from the start.
