Lickity Split: Home of the best lunch bargain on South Street.

Three things I love: Good food, booze, and a bargian. When all three of these things combine, it makes my inner foodie/alcoholic/cheapskate sing. After a hard day of shopping and body modification on the world famous South Street my traveling companion of the day, ChopStixx and I went in search of lunch. For those of you unfamiliar with South Street, allow me to enlighten you: South Street is a cornucopia of eateries and shops. You can choose from middle eastern, vegan, French, bar fare, Thai, kosher, sushi, etc all within a few block's span. Lunch is easy to find. Picking one place...that's where it gets tough. We strolled for a few blocks, not finding anything that really called out to us. Then we spied a sign hanging outside of Lickity Split that would live in infamy:





16oz of Pabst Blue Ribbon, shot of Power's whiskey, and a slice of pizza for $5? Oh, talk dirty to me.

In the upstairs bar our friendly bartender took our orders and set out our drinks for us as our pizza warmed in the kitchen. The second floor bar affords you a nice view of South Street, and across the street into Jim's Steaks. This is prime people watching, if you're into it. ChopStixx and I overfed the digital jukebox before getting down to the very serious business of getting drunk during the mid afternoon. With a happy little dance, we found that the jukebox contained Dropkick Murphy's, Flogging Molly, and Queens of the Stone age. Rock out with your PBR out!



I admit, I was hesitant. I figured if nothing else, the pizza slice would be puny and tasteless. After all, once you're half loaded on cheap whiskey and beer your taste buds have usually ceased proper function anyway. Au contraire, my sweet. Imagine my shock and delight as our bartender rolled out of the kitchen toting this:



Quite possibly the biggest slice of pizza I've ever seen. Tastey too! Despite being half in the bag at this point, I will make two complaints about the pizza: The sauce needed a little more oomph and the cheese was lackluster. However the crust was solid, and the sauce carried enough flavor that an extra sprinkling of garlic salt and hot peppers brought the flavor out nicely. But the portions were gigantic, and it satisfied a mean hunger.


For less than the cost of a value meal at Mc.D's, we satisfied our hunger, got drunk, and had a bar side sing along. Sweet!

To Lickity Split, we dub thee the finest lunch deal in all of South Street!

ChopStixx tested, Fox approved!
