Mike's Food Store

This store is the second refurbished convenience store to carry Hunt Brothers Pizza in the area, and it turns out they are owned by the same partnership.  Hunt Brothers seems to want to compete with the big boys in pizza, so I thought I'd try ordering a full pizza from them.  You can't do that through the website, though you can find the store and call them.  I ordered a loaded pizza (everything on it) on thin crust, and got a fountain drink and a Chispas dessert with it.

I went in this store once under its previous management and would not have gone back.  Scary.  But they have fixed the place up and it is very attractive and full of what you would normally look for at a convenience story.  The update did not extend to the bathroom, which was a bit rough but I've seen worse at such places.  

The full size pizza is 12", but it's rectangular and I think they measure diagonally.  It was cut into 16 little pieces (I think it was supposed to be eight, but that's OK).  Their tiny pizza oven got it fully done and crunchy, which I like.  For me it was a bit heavy on the banana pepper but YMMV.  Cost is $11.99 and there are no coupon deals, so I would say for what you get it is somewhat on the expensive side and probably won't displace any favorites.  But it was good enough that I wouldn't rule out picking up their single slices.  Several were ready to go when I came in, as were condiments.

The dessert was good, what you would expect for a packaged item and they had a very wide selection.  The fountain was slightly sputtery but the drink tasted fine.  Service was friendly.  Kudos to these guys for taking washed up stores and making them reasonable places to shop again.
