[QUOTE=Sunspace] Dear Og. There are nine of them in Ontario. And one of them is near my work. :: twitch :: [/QUOTE] One of the three in the Cincinnati area is near my home. Notice however, there are none in Wyoming. Perhaps one of the Dopers from that great state and regale us with the tail of how the drove the Rats infernal minions from their land. This is very concerning **Bayard**. If you work downtown for a large insurance company I may have something of real interest for my therapist. ---

Heh… my friend had a birthday at one of those when I was a kid. We put plastic dog poop on the pizza tray when the waitress came to get it. That was hilarious to us. ---

**Sunspace** , I volunteer to let you take my kids, once they’re old enough. 😃 :dodge: Their Mommy and Daddy aren’t going anywhere near that place. I remember it being clautrophobia-inducingly loud _when I was a kid_. ---

[QUOTE=Lissla Lissar] **Sunspace** , I volunteer to let you take my kids, once they’re old enough. 😃 [/QUOTE] Er, what? :: looks around in panic :: Your kids’re getting the Science Centre, the library, the Art Gallery of Ontario, or the Royal Ontario Museum, just like I did! None of this craptacular artificiality for them! If it’s good enough for me, it’s good enough for them! ---

Ah! I hope it still tastes the same - garlicky as all get out! Meanwhile it’s Arni’s for you, eh 😛 . Arni’s reminds me of Cassano’s, also a Cincinnati favorite (Cassano’s is a little sweeter and saltier). ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Heh. [/QUOTE] And since it’s Wyoming, it would be an American tail, no less. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=fessie] Meanwhile it’s Arni’s for you, eh 😛 . Arni’s reminds me of Cassano’s, also a Cincinnati favorite (Cassano’s is a little sweeter and saltier). [/QUOTE] I’ve had Arni’s a couple of times. On both occasions, I won the pizza dinner as a door prize at a Purdue women’s basketball booster club get-together. I prefer [Monical’s](http://www.monicalspizza.com/) if I’m in the mood for a local (or at least regional) chain’s offerings. As for [Pizza King,](http://www.lafayette-online.com/cgi-bin/criticalreviews.pl?review=Pizza_King) I’ve been dissuaded from patronizing any of the locations. Word from folks I trust is that the drink-bearing train and other features are fun for kids, but that the food is comparable to school lunch fare.
