World Pies, a new pizza joint, recently opened up in my Issaquah Highlands neighborhood

I’ll preface this with saying that I’ve been looking forward to having a decent pizza place in town.  Flying Pie Pizzaria has been my main place lately, but it is pretty expensive and they stop delivering pretty early in the evening.  Papa Johns in Sammamish stopped delivering to Issaquah a while back (and are almost finished with their new Issaquah location), and so I’ve kinda been in pizza limbo lately.

The restaurant is also a coffee stand which opened earlier this month, and when I  stopped by, they said they would be opening this week.

So tonight I stopped by to give it a shot.  When I walked in, the place was fairly busy, and was greeted by a hostess.  I informed the hostess that I’d like to place a To-Go order and was told that “We’re not doing To-Go orders until next week.”  Huh?

I took a look around and noticed several tables with “To-Go” boxes (presumably with leftovers) sitting on them, which confused me further.  I understand that they are probably doing a soft-opening, but I can’t help but think that turning away a new customer is a prudent thing for a budding restaurant.  After all, 58% of all restaurants close within the first three years.

At some point I might head back to try the food, but so far I’m impressed with the service.

If I do head back I’ll let you know if they were able to change my first impression or not.

I have a 15″ Powerbook G4, 1.25GHz with 1GB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive. Also known as the “Aluminum” PowerBooks. I recently got a Mac Book Pro for work and am going to be getting a new iMac for home, so its time to sell the notebook that was my primary computer. Looking to get $725 for it. Located in Issaquah, WA.

Includes a Targus notebook case. I’m trying to find an extra 512MB of RAM around here somewhere. Everything on it works.

Comes with a fresh install of Mac OS X Tiger–boots up just like a brand new mac, ready for your personalization information.

There is only one issue with this machine: it has some “screen blotches”, which are bright spots on the screen that occurred shortly after I bought it brand new from Apple. It was recalled, but I couldn’t spare the machine long enough to have the screen replaced. They are now refusing to replace it under the recall, so I’m having to sell it as it is. Selling it at a bit of a discount for this reason.

I am selling because I have a new Mac Book Pro.
