34 SEPTEMBER 17-23, 2014 Best of Fayetteville Best Fried Chicken KFC 2849 Owen Dr/ 680 S Reilly Rd/ 3613 Ramsey St. 910.321.6018/910.487.7988/910.822.0120 www.kfc.com Fried chicken is associated specifically with the south, but how could a golden-brown crispy and yet still moist piece of chicken not be loved worldwide? The success of KFC proves this. In 70 years, the business has grown from one man with an amazing recipe serving chicken from the back door of his kitchen to 18,000 restaurants in 115 countries. Whether it is original recipe or extra crispy, every piece of fried chicken that comes out of KFC is delicious. It starts with the secret spice blend. That magical mix or mystery herbs and spices are reminiscent of grandma's delicious chicken, but don't tell her, so much better. From buckets to bites to sandwiches, there are many different ways to get your hands on that amazing fried chicken, all accompanied by home-style sides. It's a little bite of some of the best that the rich southern culinary culture has to offer. Best Pizza (Eat In) Elizabeth's Pizza 1800 Skibo Rd/ 2468 Hope Mills Rd 910.487.0588/910.424.2848 www.elizabethspizza.net Elizabeth's Pizza prides itself on being a traditional Italian Restaurant. Started in 1977 in Collinsville, Virginia, they have spread throughout the nation but the family-oriented atmosphere remains. The restaurant's roots in traditional Italian cuisine are evident in its pizzas. Each one is personally hand tossed and topped with incredibly fresh Italian ingredients. They have the traditional Margherita, supposedly the very first iteration of the pizza. It is a simple pizza topped with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella and fresh basil. The Calabrese, another specialty pizza, is topped with fresh eggplant, sliced tomato, basil, red onion, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The toppings may seem simple or strange compared to what is largely considered pizza today. However, they are beautiful. The flavors are bright and passionate and it is pizza in a truly more authentic form. Best Pizza (Take Out) Papa John's Several Locations 910.485.7272/910.822.9111 /910.487.9900 www.order.papajohns.com/index. html?site=WEB Whether it is for a group meeting, a party, or just a family dinner, everyone loves pizza. It all began in 1985 in Jeffersonville, Indiana. John, The Papa John, opened his very first restaurant. He worked in a pizza restaurant in his youth, and later, armed with a business degree from Ball State University, was inspired to create a better pizza chain with a major focus on quality. The world welcomed this new quality-minded pizza joint with open arms, and it has grown tremendously. There are now franchises all over the nation. Regardless of how far they are from the original in Indiana, the core values remain the same. Besides being extremely delicious, there is also a huge variety of options available at Papa Johns. There are of course, the classic pepperoni, sausage, or cheese, but for the more adventurous, there are options like spinach alfredo, buffalo chicken or Hawaiian BBQ Chicken. 2800-18 Raeford Rd. 910-484-6100 4417 Ramsey Street 910-884-3053 Friends for Life Thank You For Voting Us Best LocaL Pharmacy It is our goal to fill your prescriptions in 15 minutes or less!
