The Den: Post-midnight pizza pros
It was Friday night, 2:30 AM, Agent Red Wolf had called nearly a dozen pizza places - Buona, Papa John’s, you name it - and none could deliver. The hunger mounted, mirages materialized, unconsciousness neared, and with my last bit of energy I hoarsely whispered, “The Den.” Lo and behold, less than 30 minutes later, two pizzas and two burgers were at the door (130 RMB; thanks to GZ for the treat). Nourished, I then recalled someone saying that The Den had a good happy hour, so I popped down there the following Thursday with M-Dawg and Pony. The deal: drinks and pizzas are half-price from 5-10 PM (sorry, I can’t remember which days). The meal: five pies (eight-inch, thin crust and tasty), two pints of Guinness, three pints of Qingdao and two drinks for 230 kuai. Except for spotting a (small) bug wander across the bar top, it was a very happy hour.
