I'm not sure what the big deal is with Great Plains. I ate there twice and both times the crust was dry and hard. Maybe I just got 2 bad pizzas.

Cafe Northwest recently stopped serving lunch, so I don't make it there nearly as often as I'd like. Their Greek spaghetti is awesome. Spanokopita (sp?) is really good, too.

Are you related to CR's CyAg? Are you sure you aren't talking about DaVinci's? I used to work there and we had windows where people could watch us toss out the pizza dough.
