This is a slice of sausage pizza from Pizza Metro. I think I paid $2.85 for it. It’s a decent size, but not huge. It followed the pre-meal cappuccino that I talked about a few days ago. And right on its heels was a post-meal cappuccino. That, my friends, is known in my brain as the cappuccino-pizza-cappuccino combo (CPC combo).
First, the pizza. What they do here for the by-the-slice pizzas is have a few sheets of crust already half-made. Upon your order, they add the sauce, cheese, and other toppings and heat it up. It takes about eight minutes. I love the way they cut it into the six mini squares. I usually take about three bites for each square. It’s a joyous piece of pie. Quality ingredients all the way around with a tangy sauce.
Now, let’s talk about the post-meal or dessert cappuccino. If you recall, the pre-meal cappuccino went down unsweetened. Not so with this one, I use two solid spoonfuls of sugar (it’s kind of a small spoon). I stir it in nicely so that I have frothy, sweet, espresso flavored, warm shake-like drink. What a capper, no pun intended, to this Italian feast.
You’ll see more from this place because their menu is massive and I aim to try it all. My wife usually gets the minestrone. You should see how they make that. No pre-made vat of minestrone at this place. The break out a small skillet, pour in some stock, throw some veggies and beans in, then just heat it up right on the stove. Good stuff.
All in, my cappuccino-pizza-cappuccino combo meal was $7.85 before tip. Do you believe that? That’s living the high life my friend, living the damn high life I tell ya’!

Being sort of a ‘za connoisseur, I am compelled to inform you that these guys each prepare some of the finest on this planet:Orlando’s Pizza, 821 E. State, Geneva, IL, 630/232-4900Genoa Pizza, 321 W. State, Geneva, IL, 630/232-8646In fact, believe it or not, they are one and two on my all-time best tasting listThey are within two blocks of each other, creating one heck of a rivalry, although not nearly in the same league as a Bears-Packers contest. Still, this perimeter is definitely a little piece of heaven if you enjoy this AID (i.e., Americanized Italian Delicacy), especially for those who can appreciate a soft landing in the C-P MatrixYes, each are within minutes from Prairie Landing Golf Course. Be careful though not to prematurely summon up those salivary glands, as you will need your full, complete attention to conquer that back nine
Anon, thanks a lot for the tip. I am a huge fan of Prairie Landing and I think Geneva rules. I will try and tear myself away from the The Rib House and Foxfire and try some of this pizza.
