Kenny's East Coast Pizza, Plano

This is our first posting under the category of assault.  We don't have any photos of the pizza because without thinking, we tossed what remained of it outside to see if any  animals...perhaps a passing possum, dog, or even a bird would nibble on it  (none did - even nature rejected it).

We ordered the ORIGINAL Classic cheese pizza and took it home for a couple of Bonvivants to try.  After the first bite, one of us said, "Pappa John's is better..." which is an insult because Pappa John's is a national chain and we are all about family run, authentic restaurants that use pure ingredients (as Kenny's claims).  When I tried a few bites, the level of sodium was appalling and the sugar content in the pizza dough was very significant, over-overwhelmingly so!  As it was a take-home pizza, it had cooled somewhat in the car so a quick reheat in the microwave should have done the trick.  After thirty seconds in the microwave, the cheese had not melted.  If cheese doesn't melt, it's not cheese (but rather "something else").  What did happen was a whole bunch of hidden hydrogenated oil made a run for it thereby making this already greasy thing a swamp!  Cheese should not expel grease!  The pizza breading also became as tough as cardboard...meaning that the breading was not authentic, but rather something mass produced, most likely previously frozen and loaded plump full of preservatives.  All of this constitutes fake ingredients.

Then, the next morning, the assault occurred.  I awoke feeling as if an east coast subway train with all its cars, one by one, had run over me and left me completely mangled. My whole swollen body (sodium overdose?) was being beaten by Kenny's frozen dough into a flattened, aching mess.  That is what the morning after a Kenny's East Coast Pizza felt like!
