Perfectly Picky about Pizza
Coming from Chicago, I’m skeptical and picky of most pizza. However, the Boston Pizza at the Niagara Falls location’s selection had some of the best I’d ever seen! My family’s huge, and Boston Pizza is the one restaurant we city slickers can all agree to eat at for a decent price. I really can’t stop talking about it! Since I am super competitive with a tennis arm, I’m relishing in the idea of bowling and fun games. I especially can’t wait to show everyone over Snapchat!
