Need something to absorb those fluids in your stomach before falling asleep with your shoes on? Then pizza mart is the place for you! With a slice of ‘za the size of your face and some mozz sticks on the side, you’ll be feeling great for tomorrow’s 8am… Beware of their arbitrary pricing (the later you go, the higher they’ll try to jack the prices on you).
