BOGO in the valley...

   This place is as contemporary as contemporary gets. It looks like the inside of the headquarters for a vitamin pyramid scheme. You are allowed to eat inside, but I doubt that happens much. The table is rendered useless by the distance from the two chairs and its size. The two seats are far from each other and look to be quite uncomfortable.
   The colors were nothing special: Your basic red, green and yellow mixed with some more contemporary colors like peach.
   A semi-coincidence occurred. The name of this blog was influenced by Genesis' 1973 album Selling England By the Pound.  In the kitchen, I overheard the stereo. The crew was playing Fifth of Firth, a masterpiece from "Selling England."


    This is not the commercial Genesis with Phil Collins as the lead. This is Peter Gabriel's and Steve Hacket's Genesis. Phil Collins was a new member and only a good drummer with the occasional backup vocal spot. From 1970-1975 Genesis was progressive rock with a slight psychedelic twist at its finest. The fact that this song was being played instantly gave me a good feeling.

 

   The strength of BOGO is the composition of vegetables. There are many vegetables offered as toppings. I went with roasted red peppers, red onions, tomatoes, spinach and green peppers. This pizza looked healthy. It tasted even healthier. The only unhealthy aspects of this pizza were the provolone, mozzarella and dough. These things were as healthy as they could be, though. I detected virtually no grease. 

    While the pizza, itself, stood out, the vegetables took over the show. This almost tasted like eating a salad with more substance. The pizza is very light and flaky. I imagine a cheese pizza would not be that filling. The vegetables made it filling. That fact makes this a pretty healthy choice, or at least as healthy as choosing to eat pizza can be.
   There are better pizzas. There are not too many places that offer the topping options and the health aspects that BOBO offers. The "buy one, get one" does no hurt either.
