Sometimes, people talk about how undiverse BYU is. And when they do that, I think they're liberals.
As per the request of frequent reader Cari Beut, I decided to go to Slab Pizza, located just beneath Campus Plaza Apartments and right beside the Duck Pond/Rape Hill in scenic south Provo.
To me, it's one of the most perfectest restaurants to go for a date. The romantic locale, the smell of pizza crust baking, a huge flat screen that's always showing some sport so I can show off my sport knowledge whilst my date slowly befalls into my deep brown eyes.
Actually, the first time I went to Slab was on a brthr/sstr date with Carlos when she first moved to Provo. The Slab people messed up her order, so they made her what she'd actually ordered AND gave her the order they messed up. I've loved Slab every day since that day; that's quality you can taste.
Slab is proof that BYU is diverse and tastes good. At Slab, they make lots of different types of pizzas. Each pizza is 20'' and cut into four equal slices or "slabs." There are normal flavors like cheese and pepperoni, then crazier flavors like Hawaiian, BBQ chicken, and vegetarian, then REALLY crazy flavors like chicken Cordon bleu, real Hawaiian (including SPAM), and breakfast. You order by the slab, so you don't have to get a full pizza if you don't want to. Each slab costs 4 to 7 dollars, depending on how crazy the flavor is.
Some of these flavors might sounds like they wouldn't be good on a pizza, but that's the great thing about Slab: they make pizza in the sense that there's a crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings, but depending on the flavor, it may not taste like pizza at all. My favorite is the chile verde. It has a super good enchilada/salsa-type sauce that's covered in cheese, chiles, and slow-roasted pork, dabbed with sour cream, and topped with a bit of cilantro (I love cilantro). It literally tastes like a taco and I love it love it love it. Last time I went, I got the Thai chicken. It was super good too: it had some type of curry for the sauce, cheese (but not too much), super delicious chicken, onions, peppers, peanut sauce, and cilantro (I LOVE cilantro). It tasted like I was sitting in Thailand, eating real Thai chicken while petting a tiger. Whatever you order, the crust is thin and baked so that it's nice and crispy. If you like pizza, you'll love Slab, and if you hate pizza, you'll like Slab because you can order something that doesn't taste like pizza.
Slab is great for me cuz it keeps me from spending all my money. Usually when I go out to eat on a date, I order an entree and a side because I want my date to think I have lots of money and therefore will be able to support herwhen in case we get married. At Slab, though, the menu is super simple: the only thing on the menu is pizza. Hence, I don't have to show off my money bags to the ladies. Cha-ching.
So people who think BYU is undiverse: come to Slab and see how freaky diverse BYU can be. #realtalk
