A Mediocre Cure for Late-Night Cravings

by thevictory

A mediocre cure for late-night cravings, Pizza 2000 has its place, but it's not everyday ordering.

Nothing here is particularly delectable, but it's beauty is that it remains open into the wee hours of the morning, and, well, few other delivery places in Newark do.

The submarines are reliable, ranging from decent to good. The bread is sufficiently fresh, the meat and fixings ample in amount and taste. Cheeses are limited unfortunately.

The cheesecake is solid, though, if you want to throw in a slice for dessert.

And it shouldn't hurt since Pizza 2000 is one of the more affordable delivery pizzerias.

The downside -- and it is a most regrettable one -- is the pizza, with its soggy, waifer-thin crust; scant sauce; and not-so-fresh cheese. The cheese may be that way because of the delivery time, given that the pizza likely won't arrive hot. It's a sheer waste of time, scarcely edible.

All in all, though, Pizza 2000 has assuaged my hunger pains on many a late night. It's just that if I had planned better, I all but certainly would have eaten from somewhere else.

• Pros: Decent to good sandwiches
• Cons: Lousy pizza
