Lonesome's Pizza is what you'd call a rock and roll pizza joint. The cool people and patrons enjoy the city's best pizza in house or at home and can have grub covered till the wee hours of the morning. When it comes down to the menu, there's a challenge. You could try the number 3. Jacques Cousteau vs that stingray that killed the crocodile guy or perhaps the number 12. Evel Knievel vs. your slutty little sister would suit you better or if you really want to keep it, simple there's always the number 8. my dad vs. your dad with mozzarella, pear, walnut and gorgonzola. Sandwiches here too clamor for attention but fall short by simply being choices between Smoked Turkey or Traditional Caprese or other humbly named regulars. Bread-sticks, beverages and salads form groupies to each meal and finish it all off with a tub of great ice cream!
