Members of the San Jose City College Times staff went out to Rookies Sports Lodge, 1535 Meridian Avenue, to celebrate a colleague’s birthday.
The pizza was cooked to perfection if you don’t count the half that was burnt to a crisp. For others it wasn’t that bad but my slice was pretty.
The atmosphere was that of an old style sports bar with pub style tables and chairs and random memorabilia.
The serving staff was amazingly friendly, but after complaining to the server about my burnt pizza, the manager never came out to acknowledge us.
The pizza was never replaced which was very disappointing. Although one of my colleagues enjoys burnt pizza, I wasn’t pleased.
I can say their choice of toppings on their thin crust pizza, were amazing we had the Sumo (ham and pineapple) and the Leone (pepperoni, salami).
Collectively, we gave this place two and a half “Freddy the Foodies” out of five.
