You go to Half Full for the pizza--which works out just fine, since that's all they serve. You're on your own when it comes to starting a tab and ordering: Just belly-up to the counter, give 'em your name, order your wine (they pour it for you right there), a cold beer and your favorite pie (watch it being constructed just 3 feet away), then jockey for a table (there are 5--count 'em) in time to be served.
