The intense boy was driving as fast as he could to the Lodge at Lafayette but to him it was still taking up too much time.

One thing I loved about Sbarro's pizza was it was the style, it was New York Style, meaning the slices were huge, like massive and thin enough for you to fold them in half like a sandwich. A gooey, greasy, cheesy, pepperoni sandwich, a tiny bite of heaven.
