THE KIDDIE GOURMET T — by Barbara Blackburn he Say Cheese! Pizza Company, which I call the Comic Café, takes me back to when I was a kid who, ev- ery summer, had a lemonade and comic book sale in front of my house. The two com- ic books I got here for my grandchildren, Disney Prin- cess and Miraculous Ad- ventures of Ladybug & Cat Noir, were two I never had in my collection, of mostly Little Lulu and Archie An- drews. Also here, besides the menu for those under ten, you may purchase a ran- dom superhero mini figure for $4.00. Say Cheese! Pizza Company Comic Book Store, Bar & Restaurant 1771 Love Rd. Grand Island, NY (716) 775-0333 www.saycheesepizza.com ~ SPOONS ~ FOOD 4.5/5 SERVICE 5/5 FAMILY FRIENDLY 5/5 in a smokey Sweet BBQ Sauce, American Cheese and Grilled Onions on our homemade roll.” There was as much quality as there was quantity. Dad chose the Monster Steak Hoagie ($12.00). We swapped some tasty bites, preferring our own choices. His was written up as a se- rious meal for a serious per- son and consisted of grilled seasoned steak topped with grilled green peppers & onions, lettuce, tomato, Swiss/American cheese, and topped with wild sauce on a fresh-baked Hoagie Roll. The Fantastic Four word search and connecting the dots in Spiderman should keep the kids busy, without re- lying on their screens. Plus the posters and Darth Vader figure and other decora- tions should attract attention. All kinds of seating accommodate everyone. Gourmet pizza selections included nine choices, all having a cleverly writ- ten description. The Masterpieces says that it has everything but the kitchen sink. That would include tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, banana peppers, green peppers, black and green olives, Italian sausage, and onions. We did not expect such a plethora of selec- tions, including Chicken Wings, Bone- less Wings, Burgers & Sandwiches, Salads, Hoagies & Sandwiches, and Starters. One I remember is the Famous Chicken Bread ($9.00), grilled chicken breast, blue cheese, provolone and Par- mesan cheese topped with hot sauce all on homemade bread and toasted to per- fection. This, like many of the choices, are great for sharing. Our friendly waitress delivered our food selections on huge platters. The burgers and sandwiches all come with the crispy fries (the seasoned kind). The burger toppings are free, so that you can load your choice. I selected The Big Bad Wolf ($13.00). The description read as follows: “These 3 little pigs can run but they can’t hide. Fried Smoked Ham, Roasted Pork, Strips of Bacon Many conscientious diners will find all kinds of daily specials here on lunch, pizza, and wings. Most of the selections are what I would term the best versions of themselves. The fried dough sticks certainly made the honor roll of desserts. We left with satisfied stomachs and smi- ley faces. If you don’t live on Grand Is- land, it’s worth the trip over the bridge, with or without kids! When it comes to food, kids can choose an entree, a side, and a drink, for $5.00. For $1.00, they can add on an ice cream sundae.
