A reasonable facsimile. They even use one of the cheapest fish available, Alaskan pollock; cruet of vinegar on the side, but on a plate or basket (that's the upscale part along with the price), not in newspaper......

True but only because IIRC Arthur Treacher's went out of business. F&C just weren't that popular.

Now you're changing your order (and Vinnie, our cook, gets mad when people who do that....). You asked for a veg. pizza, you got one. No meat. (Unless the vegan in question eschews dairy products, in which case maybe he/she should opt for Chinese.) AFAIK Papa John has described the original basic, echt-Neapolitan-via-NYC, pizza. All else is frippery.

All those extra toppings will cost you...... Sincerely, Rosa Manicotti, owner, Vinnie's Pizzeria
