The only thing silly about the new pizza place (Blu) is that it is literally across the street from Archies Pizza (another brick oven type pizza place) and just a few short blocks from Rosinela (Italian Restaurant that also makes pizza) and some other take out pizza place on 8th street next to the Burger King (I think it is called Mama Caruso)
True that. But you know how pizza places love competition...
