Veg In: 2nd St. Pizza


We're in Fishtown and if we have to order dinner from one of the same pizza dives, I'm just going to pass and eat a handful of Froot Loops chased with an energy drink and start an argument with my sister. After rifling through the menu drawer, we come up with 2nd St. Pizza and hope that they deliver. Not only do they have vegetables on the menu that might not be frozen, they have paninis. The Milano is breaded eggplant, provolone, roasted red peppers, pesto mayo, and romaine tucked inside an enormous panini roll. It's satisfying enough, but there isn't enough cheese and the roll is too overpowering. Our order comes with free sweet potato fries, which are soft rather than crispy, and don't look appealing enough that I can convince anyone else to try them. I'm usually very "Here, eat this" around my little brothers because I'm the only reason they now hold appreciation for green vegetables, fine dining, and coffee. Every time I get a fifteen-year old nihilist to swallow tofu, it's a good day.

We probably wouldn't order from here again, just because everything was a big shrug.
