LORI CRAUSE KLAUBER
Jenn Ratcliffe, an employee at Boardwalks in Springettsbury Township, carries homemade pizza to the dinner crowd in March.
I ended up pulling out an "It used to be..." on the Exchangers, because we started talking about where Boardwalks used to be (the shopping center closer to town on East Market, where the Red Lobster and Lowe's are), as well as what Boardwalks used to be (part of the Ledo Pizza franchise.)
Personally, I love the Boardwalks square pizza with jalapenos, bacon and chicken. And since I almost always get it for carryout, I haven't seen too much of a change since the business moved. I will say, their new dining room is smaller than the old one, but even when I do go to sit down, I don't mind... I guess the close quarters say "pizza shop ambience" to me, or something.
Another of my favorite places to eat, the Moonlight Cafe in Dover, is the same way - tiny, so show up early if you want a table - but you can really interact with the staff and other diners, which is cool. (My daughter loves watching them cook at the Moonlight.)
But back to Boardwalks-it-used-to-be-Ledo's... I do like Boardwalks. But I started thinking, is it true that we don't have a local Ledo's now? Because there were some of their specialities that I'm starting to miss, like their toasted ravioli.
And, with a brief check of the company Web site, it's as I suspected: The closest Ledo's is now in Westminster, Md. Ah, well. Maybe someone can recommend some local toasted ravioli?
