Being big fans of PIZZA, She Who Must Be Obeyed and I are always looking for a good place to get a pie.

We think we have found one: PIZZA CENTRAL in downtown Winter Haven. We have now tried them a few times. Each time we were happy with our meal.

The first time we were there was for a late lunch. The place was clean. I mean the tables had been wiped off. The restrooms were found they should be, clean. The owner, who wouldn’t know me from Adam’s house cat, was there that day. I mentioned to him about the place being clean and that we would be back. I am pleased to say that after stopping in for a pizza on Friday eve it was still clean.

Each time we visited PIZZA CENTRAL we got the large pie (16”). The flavor remained the same each time, which is what brings us back. The size comes into question. The cardboard cut out that the pie comes on is cut to size. One time we got what was more of a medium, after saying something to the server the price was adjusted.

Service is a little iffy. If you get one of the young ladies who’s boy friend isn’t there you should get pretty good service. The goofy looking guy with the sideways hat can leave you wanting.

The chairs come from the long line of restaurant owners who want you to eat it and beat it. They are not really comfortable. So don’t plan on sitting and chewing the fat with friends, your ass will give out before the conversation does.

The atmosphere at PIZZA CENTRAL while clean could use a little work. As mentioned the chairs and our butts have not been on the best of terms. Because of the construction material in the building the sound level climes fast. It really can get rather noisy in the main room, live with it. Stay out of the little place I have referred to as the cave. You’ll know it when you see it. It looks like a nice little place to sit with your date, and it can be great. But let one little monster come running in and start screaming! Because of the acoustics you could be in danger of not just losing your hearing but having your ears fall off.

With soft drinks and a large pizza you can get by with less then a twenty dollar bill.

I will recommend PIZZA CENTRAL and give it 3 ½ spoons.

Management needs to train the staff on some basic rules of waiting on customers: Customers should come before boyfriends and girlfriends. Screaming and extra loud talking shouldn’t be coming from the cooking area. And if you can’t wear your cap right take the damn thing off. The servers don’t need to fly their colors where they are working. They should show their gang signs or creative flair on their own time. I don’t care to be part of their crap.
