University Grill & Pizza has been a fixture on Commonwealth Avenue in the heart of Boston University for, well, forever. As such, it has seen a variety of food emporiums (ave atque vale, Lollicup King) come and go – mostly go.
(Full disclosure: The hardworking staff has a deep and abiding affection for UGrill’s french fries.)
But here comes a new pizza place – North End stalwart Sal’s Pizza – that sets up shop right next door.
As a public service, the hardworking staff immediately called a Campaign Outsider Pizzapalooza, which is very much like a loya jirga in Afghanistan, except with fewer people and less talking.
Without further ado, the tale of the tape:
UGrill
Pizza Style Greek
Crust Doughy
Sauce Light
Cheese Oily
Size Megaslice
Sidewalk Signs Two
Price $3 (with soda)
Sal’s Pizza
Pizza Style New York
Crust Overdone
Sauce Chunky
Cheese Light
Size Biggerslice
Sidewalk Signs One
Price $3.74 (no soda)
Both pizza places have their attractions, so let’s end with this:
Can’t we all just get aslice?
Campaign Outsider 
Isn’t Sal’s the home of the 14 pound pizza, where a slice is a whole quarter pizza? Just kidding, but doesn’t he promote himself as the maker of the heaviest pizza around for cheap money?
Sal’s bills itself as “Home of the 19″ 3lb. Pizza.”
So you’re not far off.
