Mind you, now, those free slices are
one slice per person, for dine-in only … but surely you’re familiar with the old Sicilian saying: “Hey, free pizza is
free pizza,” right?
Also, if you’re familiar with Southside itself, you’ll be glad (and possibly drooling) to know that, starting that same day, they’re inaugurating a year-long run of
