Local Places: Arris Pizza

There is a grand tradition in the mid-Missouri area of Greek family pizzarias. The best of the crop was the first in the area, Arris'. The crust is pretty consistent among the various Greek eateries: thin, crispy at the edges and chewy in the middle. Arris' seems a bit crisper than most, which suits me fine. Toppings cover the usual gamut, and the more unusual ones,  spicy Greek sausage and gyro meat, are appropriately Greek and both delicious. There are a number of combinations named after familiar ancient Greeks; my personal favorite is the Hippocrates, which features every single vegetable on the menu. I like to order it light on the cheese. It doesn't make it health food, but it alleviates my guilty conscience. And this is one guilt-inducing pleasure I don't plan on sacrificing.
