Cuisine Critique
Students' view on the food
BY BRETT PHILLIPPE

Papa Keno's Pizzeria 1035 Massachusetts St.
**Type of restaurant:** Pizza
**Overall star rating:** 3.5 out of 5
**Signature dish:** The Slice
**Tastes like:** New York Style
**Price range:** $3.50 - $25.00
**What I ate:** A large slice of cheese pizza with a medium drink.
**Review:** Once you walk into Papa Keno's, you are instantly captivated by a nice local bar scene that at the same time has the feel of the old pizzerias seen in movies. Once you place your order and
take a seat, a very friendly environment surrounds you. After sitting for a few minutes, you get your food and are astounded by the behemoth-sized slice. These slices are so large that they actually have to cut your separate slice into tiny other slices, and for only $3.50, its very reasonable. The only downside of Papa Keno's is that if you are going to eat there, you need to get there early because it gets very packed very fast. But overall, this restaurant is a good choice for a Friday night downtown.

Papa Keno's is located on Mass. Street, and serves as a cheap and delicious lunch or dinner out.
