(30) Eat in 10 New restaurants (5/20)
Restaurant: The Corner Grille
Rating: 4-Stars
After completing day 3 of the P90X workout routine (Shoulders and Arms) I decided to treat myself to dinner with my close friend Marybeth. I know I should be eating chicken breast and vegetables but I worked hard and thought I could have something more and I rarely get to see her. We decided wherever we ate needed to be inexpensive since we are both on a tight budget. We settled on the Corner Grill in Worcester’s West Side. We had both heard great things and have never eaten there and thought it would be a great place to try. When we got there the crowd was thin and the chalk boards above our heads listed many interesting custom ingredient combinations for pizzas. The small crowd gave us an opportunity to talk to the cashier/order taker about what she thinks is good.
With her recommendation, and that of friends, we settled on the best selling Chicken Caesar Salad Pie. It is made with Caesar dressing, chicken, tomatoes, parmesan-mozzarella cheese, chicken, and topped with a cool chopped ceasar salad. We were both starved so we opted for the larger of the two sizes 14” or 18” @ 11.99 and 15.99 respectively. While they seemed to have a large collection of homemade beverages designed for two people to share we opted for classic Stewart’s Root beer in the bottle and took a seat in one of the restaurant’s little tables.
The pizza was better than either of us anticipated and we quickly devoured nearly all of it. The large is more than enough for two people with healthy appetites. The crust was thin and flavorful and the salad made for a refreshing topping. It was just the right amount of cheese and didn’t leave you feeling like you needed a nap after. By the time we finished the thin crowd became a restaurant packed with people and it was a challenge to pay the bill and get a left over box for the last remaining slices. Clearly this place is a very popular spot for the local’s to grab a bite to eat or grab take out.
Marybeth and I have decided we need to try each of their custom pies.
