SF(GAm) on the Colbert Report and PIZZA BUZZ!!!!!!

by **DejaVu2001** on February 25th, 2009, 12:50 pm

Last night, Stephen Colbert did a segment on the "15 companies that might not survive 2009" article. The second company mentioned was Six Flags. Pretty entertaining although I did disagree with a couple things he said. There were numerous referrences to SFGAm and Gurnee particularly

Here's the link:

And if anyone wants to actually watch it on TV, it reruns at 1:00 and 7:00 on Comedy Central.

^ Like what?

I did however enjoy this clip. Thought the whole Yankee Clipper story was pretty funny.

Yeah, Sbarro sucks but Colbert is not in the least bit as funny as I thought he was going to be so is he what from Illinois?

Are you kidding? Sbarro pizza is the best! :lol:

/\ He went to Northwestern/first worked in Chicago.

One Flag....No fun... guess he doesn't know that.

He Knew More about Great America than Most Travel Agency's/ News Stations/ Locals.

haha that was great! and i love sbarro!

by **Demon_07** on February 25th, 2009, 8:01 pm

The Sbarro at Hawthorn Mall is actually reallllly good.

by **Chitown** on February 25th, 2009, 8:24 pm

Oh comeon.

You guys live in the Chicago area which is saturated with kickass pizza places and you consider Sbarros good pizza?

by **Demon_07** on February 25th, 2009, 8:27 pm

I like Sbarro because it's the closest thing to New York style there is. In my book, it's un-american to eat pizza with a fork. :lol:

by **demonbulleagle** on February 25th, 2009, 9:06 pm

Best Pizza=Lou Malnites (sp?)

by **brad153** on February 25th, 2009, 9:19 pm

haha i thought this was pretty funny because its so true

by **Coaster Justin** on February 25th, 2009, 9:51 pm

I've eaten at Gino's 3x at Least. I wonder if Giodanno is good.

by **Demon_07** on February 25th, 2009, 9:59 pm

Giordano's thin crust is decent. Gino's pizza crust is like thick cardboard

by **Danhockey04** on February 25th, 2009, 10:25 pm

Gino's ok, I place them 3rd in deep dish I've had. Sbarro's is absolute crap compared to the za around the city. But Lou Malnati's is my favorite followed by Uno/Due and then Gino's. Giordanno's doesn't even place, it's so bad.

by **Demon_07** on February 25th, 2009, 10:29 pm

I take it none of you have been to an old-fashioned pizza parlor in Brooklyn?

by **onyxhotel08** on February 25th, 2009, 10:40 pm

Man, you guys do like your pizza...fun topic :lol:

by **Demon_07** on February 25th, 2009, 10:41 pm

And then there's my dad putting a dill pickle on his hotdog. :lol:

by **michael** on February 25th, 2009, 10:46 pm

lou's is by far my favorite pizza !

You have to be kidding me...

I work at the Macy's in Hawthorn so I went to Sbrarro once for lunch. It tasted like it had been sitting there all day , and im sure it probably had. I nearly asked for my money back, but I was running out of time on my lunch break, so I tossed it and grabbed Taco Bell.

My Mom and Brother ate at Sbarro in Gurnee Mills once, and had similarly nasty results.

Grayslake has some good pizza places, Pat's on 83 and Italian Ovens on 45 have great thin-crust pizza.

Olando's in Round Lake Beach has great thick crust pizza, they also have a bunch of Riverview Park memorabilia in there.

by **Demon_07** on February 26th, 2009, 4:54 pm

That's why you tell them you'll wait for a slice right out of the oven, not 1 from a pie that's been sitting.

by **demonbulleagle** on February 26th, 2009, 9:10 pm

Best small town pizza place is Tortorices right off of route 12 in Lake Zurich

Or Wayne's Pizza, Dont konw where it is exactly.

unless you've been to Nonna's you should probably stop talking.
