In an attempt to beat the 95+ degree heat yesterday, we headed out to do some returning (of goods purchased) and movie watching at the massive and massively-busy Garden State Plaza<\/a>. The theater was packed as well, though I must say the stadium seating and large seats were quite nice. I hadn’t heard anything about Inception<\/a>, but Adrienne wanted to see it. She seemed to rather enjoy it, but I came off thinking it was too long and lacked originality – just another rip-off of The Matrix and going back farther, Flatliners.<\/p>\n

After the movie we headed to Mario’s in Clifton. David had read a review that piqued his interest<\/a>, so we wanted to check out what this very-flat Emma pizza was all about. The atmosphere of this decades-old, family-run Jersey business was just what you’d expect, and what I’d prefer any day over a meal at any of the restaurants whose decor philosophy is putting up garage sale items on the walls. After a starter salad (that had all iceberg lettuce as greens – not great but about what I’d expect), our large 10-slice Emma pizza came out, with half spinach and garlic and half meatball (sliced). This pizza was thin! It was also very good. Perhaps not an everyday slice for me, I like more crust, but worth going back for. One drawback or advantage, is you can eat a lot of it! We walked out with just two slices in the doggy bag. I will say I was very hungry, having skipped lunch. Check out the photo below, where the the meatball slices are about twice the thickness of the rest of the pie. And there are more photos and history at the above link.<\/p>\n
