Upon entering the small pizza shop, you are instantly hit with amazing aromas such as the mixture of dough, sauce, cheese and all sorts of toppings. As you walk through the narrowish shop, you are surrounded by 15 plus decorated Greek paddles hung on both well-lit brick walls. There are three TVs in between the sets of paddles that display a sports game but the sound of sports broadcasters and cheering are drowned out by the wide variety of music that blares through the big stage speakers by the front of the door.
As you walk up to order, a bright, borderline overwhelming menu board is shining down on you, making you second guess the plain jane cheese slice you might have had in mind. The menu consists of everything from specialty pizzas to Pretzellinies. As I waited for my order, another student and I got to talking about the very best things you can order from the extensive menu at Tri Pi. I settled on the melt in your mouth chicken bacon ranch pizza that they serve straight from the oven, my new found friend, on the other hand, chose the piled high pizza nachos, "Its the first thing I ever got here and it will be the last too"
As the night went on, the restaurant got fuller and fuller, some came stumbling in and out with pizza boxes full while others stayed to hang out for a while. After barely finishing my slice of heavenly pizza, I sat back and took in the atmosphere of the cozy little pizza shop. In the corner of the restaurant - near the restrooms, two guys drunkenly try to play Pacman and losing pretty bad. In another corner sits a group of people yelling the lyrics to "Sweet Caroline" along with the speaker. I realized that Tri Pi is more than just a little pizza place on the main street of a college town. Tri Pi is a homey place with personable people that just want you to have a good time and eat some good food, and that is why Tri Pi stands out from the others.
