La Grande Puanteur
by vas at Citysearch
This 'Orange' has been squeezed beyond its limit. Wine and beer are plentiful but cannot be opened or tasted (no liquor license to serve). The pizza ingredients are fresh but the crust is soggy and the wait is eternal. The intentionally trendy staff resemble extras from Central Perk (on Friends) - diversity in hiring has been sacrificed for predictable redundance. Bathroom sinks are large but the hot water flow is minimal. Nonsensical items such as cheap Circle-K candy, crochet sets, and undersized t-shirts crowd the already minimal space available. Speaking as an East Coast native, here's my advice - for pizza, try Pizza Picasso; for atmosphere, try AZ88; for trendy but diverse staff, try the Pita Jungle; for a trendy bathroom, try Six; for the rest, including wine and sundries, try Sportsmans or AJ's.The Big O tries so hard to be hip, that it overwhelms and overshoots its target.
- Pros: menu not too pricy, no grotesque people, dessert sylings
- Cons: , overstated pizza, long wait-small space

Waited over an hour for our pizza which was served cold and soggy. (our order must have been misplaced by the ultra-homoginized staff?) "Grocery" list items for sale are rather disconnected: Crochet sets? (just a tad on the pretentious side), beer and wine (which cannot be consumed on the premesis - just spring for the liquor license, already!), and cheap penny candy displayed next to $60- + cakes??? And let us not forget the T-shirts (plannng on becoming a Planet Hollywood?) Overpriced, overstated, over-stylized, and over-marketed, without any of the substance to back it all up with.
- Pros: location, beer selection, wine selection
- Cons: , can't drink the beer, can't drink the wine
