Apparently I am now a Michigander who loves huge swaths of Ohio and Ohio foods. That said, I wasn't…read moreborn in Michigan. My roots are shallow. I don't care about sports, and I never studied the great Toledo war. As far as I can tell, we got the UP so even if Ohio won, I figure we still came out ahead? Like I said, I never took a midwest social studies course. In all seriousness, I don't know what is more responsible for bringing me back to Westside Bowl over and over again. It's a pretty close tie between the Brier Hill Pizza and the pinball. Pinball and pizza are two of my favorite things. Plus I love peppers and frankly I'm a big old fan of the Basilicata region in Italy, which incidentally is reported to be the cultural underpinning of Brier Hill Pizza. But that's neither here nor there. I also am a big fan of interesting regional beers. Westside Bowl has those covered, but I'm usually stopping in on a roadtrip and now that I'm old, one beer makes me really really sleepy. So sadly, I usually just look with wistful eyes at the beer list. Fortunately I can console myself with pinball. There's a good selection of machines, and many of them play quite well. The staff has always been lovely. I appreciate the queer friendly signage visible from the very large parking lot. The stage for shows looks freaking awesome. And there is real honest to goodness bowling. Not this gussied up let's-put-big-ass-tv-screens-over-the-lanes-for-the-add-set bowling. I don't know who put all of these things together into one old building, but whoever they are, they should be awarded a Nobel prize. It's flipping genius. The locals of Youngstown are fortunate to have a place like this. I hope the appreciate it and understand just how lucky they are. If only the kitchen staff could work on making a dynamite sauerkraut ball, I woudln't be tempted to skip Youngstown for an occasional dalliance to Akron. And for that matter, perhaps they might consider dialing in a cold cheese pizza, to keep me from visits to the Ohio valley.

Westside Bowl on Mahoning ave in Youngstown is a great spot for the pizza, the appetizers, the…read moredraft beers and the interior of the joint itself. It's a full unreserved recommend highly and take Mom and Pop for lunch too! Seriously, Westside Bowl DOES have great pizza. They got a LOT of off street safe free parking. The people who work there are friendly AND fun to look at. (not being mean, I just like green hair and a smile ) There are regularly scheduled bands. Some of which do cost $20+ to see, but it's a good concert space downstairs with a good vibe. It's not like you're stuffed into "JJ's Cave" or something. Remember Nyanhinghi? Nitabinghi? That bar that had music up on Steel street? Same good vibe. And that's really the point I'm trying to make. The Westside Bowl is an exemplar (ha!) of what could happen when good, ON SITE management means to a venue. Hit this place up for some cool and mellow times, and enjoy your afternoon. Your night. Your health. This place will make you younger, I #### you not

I haven't tried anything other than the pizza yet, but I'm looking forward to it. I just got a recommendation on the steak & cheese sub. Usually I order a red pizza with old world pepperoni and garlic crust, and a white pizza with banana peppers and Italian sausage. I do ask for extra sauce on both, and balance it out by requesting they be cooked "well done." Haven't been disappointed with that formula yet.

You ever see commercials for a chain restaurant that you always wanted to try but is no where…read morearound where you live? Like it's teasing you and giving you false hope. Because, unless you were to take a special trip to find one, you will not be having it anytime soon. That's Marco's for me, among a few other, but Marco's is literally the one that pops up all the time, but is not around me. If I am being honest, this was a bit of a special trip for me, especially since I knew I could be tasting some of that pizza soon. I followed GPS here and thought I was at the wrong place at first. Because when I did so, I pulled up to what was once a Family Video store. Marco's took up a portion of the store. I had used the app prior to coming here to order ahead of time, that would equate to less time waiting and I could finally have that pizza in my hands. I walked inside and it is a rather small place. Mostly looking like a carry out establishment. There were a few tables, so I assume some may want to order in and eat here. When I showed up, my order wasn't quite ready and I did have a little bit of a wait. There was one other customer in with me who appeared to be a walk in customer. Watching this happen Marco's is a little like Little Caesar's. You walk in, order and have a quick pizza delivered to your hands. My pizza was finally done and I happily exited the store to my car and opened that box to a bit of disappointment. See, when I ordered I went with the pepperoni pizza. On their commercials it appears that the pepperoni form those little cups that capture the pepperoni grease. I know it's not good for you, but I just wanted to try it. All I ended up getting was a regular cheese pizza. Even though I was disappointed that didn't stop me from eating that pizza. It wasn't bad, kind of on par with the other chain pizza restaurants. For those that did not have the chance to try Marco's yet, it is a square-ish pizza rather than round. The amount of cheese on the pizza was impressive and, if they were around me, would probably be a favorite for a quick meal on some nights. Did it live up to my expectations? Kind of, I am happy that I was finally able to give a try.
