As restaurant chains go Pizzeria Uno Chicago Grill at least does a credible imitation of your corner bar and grill.
The grill was where I headed last night after getting checked into my hotel in Bethesda. I had eaten there a couple of time when I last stayed here almost a year ago. As was the case then, the service this Monday evening was a little erratic. I ate in the bar and noticed the barkeep was having a difficult time juggling several balls in the air.
I had the individual Numero Uno which is their kitchen sink deep dish pizza. The filling in the pie — cheese, sausage, pepperoni, onions, mushrooms, peppers — was delicious but was perched upon precious little crust.
Uno has a pretty welcoming atmosphere — albeit manufactured — and would be the kind of place friends would go for a pie and a couple of cold ones.
I might try to do a couple of other “Meaty Mondays” this week if I find some other eating places in the Greater District of Columbia Area that fickle my tancy. I mean, why shouldn’t I, I hardly do Meaty Mondays on Mondays.
