Nick Tahou Hots

“The home of the garbage plate”

Points earned: 20.

Mr. Shoes Pizza

1921 South Ave.
Open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. and Friday-Sunday 11 a.m. - 10:30 p.m.

Is the H-hots review really fair? It should have a 5 for accommodating hours and you should really go after a party for the full experience. I've been there many times and never gone away hungry or disappointed.

This debate never would have even of had the chance to occur when Nick was still alive. Mr Shoes is the "winner".....seriously ?!?
