The Pizza Machine



My family visited the Pizza Machine restaurant over the weekend.
It was a lot of fun and the pizza was wonderful!




Watching the pizza guys toss the pizza is a big part of the experience.

At one point, a practice dough got away from the chef and landed on my digital camera.
I'm used to that sort of thing though. You should've seen what happened to me at at Globetrotter's game!






If you're there at the right time, entertainment is part of the experience!

Yes, you can find stuffed pizza in Springfield, IL.


Our waitress was a great sport!


Above is a sausage sub - not on the menu but made especially for us.

If you're planning a party, ask them about reserving their best table.
Also ask about their largest size pizzas.

Here are some visual clues (that we could've used) to find this place.
