I read the Schwarz review in the paper. Bob Schwarz is an idiot- a malcontent who dispenses his pearls of wisdom to other idiots who can't operate the brain that's been given them. The small pizza can vary in amount of cheese and quantity, but the crust and other ingredients are superb. (Besides, there's a girl there I have a slight crush on, so my opinion is prejudiced.) Husson's pizza is cardboard with a red sauce which may have comes from a tomato base gathered from a elementary school cafeteria. Sinbad's comes a close second. That man is a genius. Hummus and pizza that good? Props to Sam! Overpriced? Try Soho's. Sweet Buddha! Pretense? In spades my friends. Other than those places? I don't eat pizza from other places. Lola’s is the best.

The Bluegrass Kitchen is simply not up to par, and, in fact, looks and feels alot more like some kids "playing" at having a restaurant. The staff is very unprofessional as well. On my last visit there they were more interested in discussing their personal lives with their friends at the counter than serving my party of four. When we finally got our food it was cold, not fresh and we left most of it. The space is great and as the saying goes, "It would be nice place to open a restaurant." I have to agree with Quirky.

I'd really like to like the place - it's convenient and god knows the East End needs it. However, after five trips there of increasingly bad food I've given up. The Steele's may be salt of the earth folks, but the food is just plain bad and the service worse. Just my opinion, if you like the place I mean no offense.

The Blue Grass Kitchen are in their infancy stage. Watch them grow under the fine command of the Steele family. Lola's is an excellent and fresh option when dining in or out. What is it with all of these labels everyone is so intent on putting on someone who studied more diligently in school than others? Lola's or Blue Grass Kitchen will take your money no matter what walk of life you come from in this world. The problem seems to be we get too caught up in who is eating beside us. Are we that socially sick we cannot make a leap and accept those who are different from us? What gives? Those that have more please go out and support as often as you like. Those that have less, save and go out when you can...Both restaurants are great choices and are both family owned...Food for thought... East end annie is, ‘out to lunch’!

If the number of lawyers in a restaurant in Charleston determines whether you'll eat there, then you must cook for yourself most times. Just ignore them. Besides...would you rather eat alongside 100 hipsters talking about Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and their latest found art installations? Ooof.

Couldnt figure out why it was empty. Holiday weekend I presume. Oh, and to the anon. poster who thinks decks and patios are only for rich snobs, you must not get out much into rural W.Va. Every house house has a front porch. But I will eat your pickle anyways. As long as it stored in a fridge. No warm ones please. Lechatnoir, coupons are your friends.

How did lawyers and laissez-faire economics get on the pizza blog!! Lola's is great! The food is excellent(my fave is the spinach pie with the basalmic glaze, yum!) -- and honestly, the owner is one of the nicest, down-to-earth girls I know. Who gives a crap who you dine with--eat your food and leave or get take out! For the price-- I don't mind paying a little more for quality ingredients and the work that goes into it. Another note on the price: the husband and I ordered a pie from Papa John's a few weeks ago and spent $20 for a delivered, 2 topping pizza. Oy gevalt!

You should be eating on an overturned pickle bucket for the most anti-effete effect. Isn’t it kind of snobby being able to even afford a deck/patio, teh anti snob That’s rather uppity.

It just that sometimes, at me for least, the scene can tarnish the food. Luckily for you the food can overcome. However, in an era of takeout (especially on one's deck/patio in this nice weather), it seems easier to get it to go then pay 3.5 a beer (soho's , whats up with that), and tag an extra 20 percent tip onto it all. (Yes Jennifer, I saw your antish snob comment concerning the Jazz festival :-p) I digress, time to comment on the Chinese article, which was excellent btw.
