There are loads of options on the menu, but what we usually go with are spinach, feta, tomatoes and mushrooms. Joe likes chicken on his half. The pizza is thick and loaded with cheese, they are not shy with their toppings. Absolutely delicious.
Wings are one of the Pizza King specialties. There are various degrees of hot sauce you can select, and I'm told that if you choose the XXX sauce, it comes with a personal visit to your table from Buddy, who will explain just HOW hot it is and try to talk you out of it. A full selection of burgers, salads, pasta, grinders and Starlets' famous pies are also available if pizza is not your thing.
Pizza King seems to be a very popular place for birthday parties. A lot of the times we've been there on a weekend, there's been a party going on, and Joe says he had his 50th birthday there.
One of the items on the menu is "a bowl of junk". In one of my earlier visits, I got a big kick out of this and posted a photo of that menu listing on my facebook page as we were waiting for our pizza. About 2 minutes later, Buddy came over to our table and explained what a bowl of junk was. So he clearly pays attention to his facebook page!
So, what's a bowl of junk? You just have to go to Pizza King and find out for yourself. It's worth the trip, even from South County. 430 Ledge Road, East Killingly, CT.
