If you've got a valid college ID (or if you're like us and just using your old one until you really don't look like the picture anymore) head out to Chipp Pizza tomorrow, because they're giving away free pies to all the academics in honor of their grand opening. Chipp has reportedly been soft open for a few months; it was started by former The Apprentice contestant Lenny Veltman, who once said of the joint, “We wanted to create a modern lounge much like a Chipotle or Panera Bread store, not another take out pizza joint. Somewhere you’d go on a date." Nothing more romantic than Chipotle!
The main draw of the joint is their 800-degree wood burning oven, which Veltman says can "produce a perfect pizza in just 60 seconds." He also said coal burning ovens are no good, and previously told Sheepshead Bites, “Grimaldi’s is crap. DiFara awful. Totonno’s garbage." So if anyone out there wants to conduct a taste test we'd be happy to know just how out of line he is! An employee tells us that a college ID will get you a free small, plain pie tomorrow, which usually goes for $9.50. They also don't offer slices, which has earned them some guff on Yelp. Still, free pizza. Do you really need another motivator?
