March 09--Yes, you read it right, Mr. Erudite Food Man thinks Sarpino's offers a pizza worthy of your time. I was never a big fan of the chain, but one pie, on a proverbial dark and stormy night, changed my thinking. There was a snowstorm, and with the fridge empty, we opted for delivery pizza. Sarpino's was our closest option, so we called and chose the most interesting-sounding pizza: Buffalo ranch chicken. And by golly, was it awfully tasty. Perhaps it's the flavor nuclear bomb of ranch sauce, Buffalo hot sauce, plus tart-spicy-crunchy banana peppers. Or the cheese blend that kept it contained like a gooey protective blanket. My only addendum to the pizza was throwing it in the toaster oven for two minutes -- its default crispness is one level too pliable for me. I suppose I can't totally avoid being a pretentious food snob.
