CONSTANCE: During our year-long Erie Pizza and Wing Blogging Adventure, Eli's has consistently come at the top of the wing list whenever we've asked friends about their favorite wings. We've put off trying them because they're not one-stop-shopping and only have wings and not pizza. But my idea was to get our pizza from Hunter's, just down the street - everything would be in close proximity and still hot when we got home. Why hadn't I thought of this sooner?
Mathias asked the Eli's bartender which wings are their "signature" flavor, and she strongly recommended Mikey's. A tangy-hot mix of flavor, ready to explode.
The pizza order at Hunter's was a one topping - hot banana peppers. And check out the photo - Mathias was in heaven with four corners to devour!
Remember the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup TV commercial from years ago where two passersby collide and the one person's chocolate bar ends up in the jar of peanut butter carried by the other person (I know, who carries a jar of peanut butter around - so don't think about this too much). My point? The combination of Eli's wings and Hunter's pizza was genius!
Eli's wings were absolutely professional - they were just delicious! And not amateurish, like some of the other Erie restaurants we've tried. The Mikey's flavor, and flavor name was so fresh and different - we loved it! And I also got to meet Mathias's cousin and her husband when we picked up too.
And Hunter's. Mathias was expecting typical "bar" pizza. But instead, we got pizza that rivaled some of our favorite places this year. The cheese was fresh and the crust wasn't hand-tossed, but I loved it anyways. Crispy and fresh. I guess fresh was the theme.
The price, even though ordered at two separate establishments, was in our $20 price point. And the order time was pretty standard too.
Overall, I'm giving this week an 8 outta 8 slice review. Two great tastes that go great together ...
