The Subway of pizza

Build your own or order from a classics menu; either way Pie 5 is the Subway of pizza places. Located in the Villages of Allen, the new restaurant is a cool concept but with mediocre food.

The setup is similar to a Subway sandwich shop as customers go through a line and have their pizza made in front of them on the spot. From there, you grab a seat at one of the colorful tables or at the bar and wait for your pie to be cooked.

Unfortunately, the pizza is nothing truly special. Being able to create it on your own is cool, but the crust was cracker-like and overall wasn’t anything to rave over.

Though the food isn’t the best the idea, the atmosphere is creative and enjoyable with good service. The employees are kind and helpful, often coming to check on our table.

Although the pizza may not be the best around, Pie 5 is worth a visit. Watching your pizza get made is fun and it’s a fast meal. Combined with a cool, modern soda machine and some yummy cookies, it’s a good experience.

About the Contributor

Julia Vastano, Editor-in-chief

In 7th grade Julia signed up for newspaper class on a total whim. To this day she isn’t exactly sure what landed her in Mrs. Sanders 7th period newspaper class. She kind of just went with the flow (which is actually very peculiar for Julia because she usually plans everything at least 3 years in advance) Now she is one of the Editor-In-Chiefs of The Red Ledger so that happened and it’s cool and she likes the gig. Extra Curriculars are a huge part of Julia’s life. So much so she refuses to list them out here for fear of becoming explicitly boring. Her hobbies include dancing, tripping, falling, flailing and anything of that general nature. She wants to major in history or political science and go to law school eventually. Her fantasy career would be a paleontologist because dinosaurs are awesome, but she is more realistically looking into being a lawyer (which yes, she does find to be equally exciting.) Other than all of that, Julia is so super duper excited for the 2015-2016 Red Ledger staff. She is very confident that this year the online news source will kick some booty at something and be really informative. She is even more pumped to work along side the old married couple (also known as the other two amazing Editor-In-Chiefs of The Red Ledger) Jillian and Hallie.
