Grub Crawl - E. 50: Jet's, Smashburger, Tomasino's and Peteys

I knocked out these misfits on Wednesday after my first choice turned out to be in Japan on vacation. They are all on 50 near the Mall.

Jet's Pizza - This is a chain, conveyor belt pizza place ala Wing Zone that just opened in November. It's next to Kabooki Sushi. I had a Sicilian slice that turned out not to be half bad. It was a slight bit smaller than the usual slice. It had an almost deep dish-like crisp bottom. It cost $2 and came with four circles of pepperoni (Hormel-ish). They hail from up north. I think this is the first or second branch here. They also have no pizza dishes.

Smashburger - I've eaten at this chain in NYC and San Diego. I had a classic burger for $5. It's ok. The veg was a little wilted. Nice bun. The burger isn't as good as Shake Shack. I think it replaced a place called Broadway Burger. They serve chicken too.

Tomasino'sPizza - This is in the strip mall that has Total Wine. It replaced another pizza place two years ago. I had a slice of pizza for $2. It was good. Thin (crust too) with natural sauce, They have pasta, wings, subs and baked specialties. They have a pizza eating challenge. They have another location on Red Bug.

Peteys Pizza - This place is in the strip mall across from the Total Wine strip mall. It has been a few pizza joints before this owner (two years now). The slice ($2) had burnt cheese and the sauce was salty (marinara). The slice was too thick. They make stromboli, calzones, subs, seafood, chicken, eggplant and pasta. A typical menu.
