Over the years, I've passed by Seniores Pizza more times than I could ever possibly count. However, in spite of that, as well as how often some of my friends used to stop by after a night of clubbing/bar hopping, I can actually count the number of times I've been here on a single hand. The first few came at the end of those aforementioned types of nights and, if I had written a review then, they probably would've led to a mostly positive review. However, coming here stone cold sober? Still positive, albeit a bit more measured and muted.
Back when they first opened, Seniores started off as a small, hole-in-the-wall spot, but they've since expanded into the neighboring space and added a lot more seating. Similarly, their menu has evolved and grown as well. Obviously, pizza has always been the name of the game here (they have over a dozen combinations by the slice or pie), but my friend mentioned that they used to have fried chicken as one of their main offerings as well. Now, it's a bit more typical of a pizzeria with some unexpected items, ranging from a mix of chicken wings, fried snacks, pastas, salads and sandwiches to burgers, loaded fries, milkshakes, and even fish & chips.
-- SENIORES COMBO with Pepperoni, Mushroom, Salami, Sausage, Onions, Tomatoes, and Bell Peppers...$6
A pretty decent take on a pretty classic combination pizza. On the plus side, this wasn't light on toppings and there were three different meats with a good variety of veggies. However, the center part of the pie felt short on cheese and I wasn't a huge fan of the red sauce.
-- PESTO CHICKEN with Chicken and Pesto Sauce...$5.50
This has long been my friend's go-to order and I'm sure she'll be happy to hear it's as good as the first time I had it years and years ago. There is a fair amount of chicken on this and they don't skimp on the amount of pesto sauce in this either.
Across every type of pizza that I've had at Seniores (I also tried a slice of their pepperoni years ago), the thing that I like most about them is how large they've all been. At practically twice the size of most slices I've had elsewhere, you definitely get your money's worth here. As for the dough/crust, it's decent, but, admittedly, it's also no my preferred style. While it's not bland and bready as others I've come across, I do wish it had a bit more flavor to it and was a little thinner with a softer chew.
Considering how I don't hit the bars and clubs anywhere close to as often as I used to (not that I ever really did in the first place), I don't have nearly as many reasons to come back here as I used to. What's more, I'm not even sure if they still keep the same late night hours that they did before (Yelp says they close at 11pm, but their site and Google list 1am Sun-Thurs and 3am on Friday and Saturday nights). However, if you're looking for something budget friendly, a slice without having to get a whole pie, and/or a late bite, Seniores is a solid bet!
THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded down.
