Things We Do Not Endorse: Subway Pizza

New, 14 comments

Curbed blogger and man about the East Village Joey Arak looked his fears dead in the eye and ordered pizza from Subway yesterday. (Since June Subway has been serving pizza—at some 13,000 locations, despite this fact not appearing on Subway's website.) Now, as a general matter, we're always down for a taste test. But, here's where we're compelled to draw the line:

Arak: I flirted with ordering it once, before chickening out at the last second and opting for a Veggie Max at the counter. Today, finally, ...I decided to man up and give those cheesy discs a whirl.

PLUSES
· Cheap! You’re looking at $4 for a filling lunch.
· You get your run of the toppings bar, allowing you to opt for sandwich regulars you wouldn’t really ever consider on a pizza. Pickles, perhaps? Sure!
· The pizzas come to Subway frozen, so they are pretty much impossible to screw up.
· It basically tastes like pizza you would get at a concession stand at a Little League game.

MINUSES
· It basically tastes like pizza you would get at a concession stand at a Little League game.

Before you get curious and taste test Subway's pizza for yourself, we'll just say that the only reason to get a pizza at a little league concession stand is because other options don't exist. Warning, there are bigger pictures—and video—via the click.
