“Very nice employees. Great place for snacks and alcohol. Behind the building and in between the building and Taco Bell are a few hidden spots for truck drivers to park for free. They really helped me out during the storm so I really appreciate it.”

“Casey's in Watervliet — Shockingly Brilliant Pizza (Despite One Mild Tragedy) Ordered the Supreme from Casey’s in Watervliet — no black olives, obviously, because olives should either be floating in a martini or nowhere near my dinner ??. Basic culinary logic, really. First bite? Absolutely phenomenal. The crust was perfectly done — not soggy, not pretending to be artisan concrete, just proper ?. Toppings were plentiful, cheese melted like it had something to prove ??, and the sauce actually tasted like tomatoes instead of existential despair ?✨. If every pizza tasted like this, I’d probably trust people more and complain less (probably). Now, I did request a square cut. Not complicated. Not theoretical physics ?. Just squares. Because sometimes you want that tiny center bite and that dramatic edge piece — it's a textural odyssey, a journey, a moment ??. I was spiritually prepared. Emotionally invested. Ready. Got triangles instead ??. Not the end of the world — just a tiny emotional paper cut ??. Did it ruin the pizza? No. Did it slightly bruise my tavern-cut dreams? Yes. But we move on. We heal. We persevere ??. And for the record, I did not inhale the entire pizza like a goblin in crisis. I behaved like a responsible adult ?. Ate some for dinner, had some for lunch the next day, and still had leftovers. Discipline. Maturity. Character development ??✨. If there were a 4.9-star option, they’d get it — but honestly, it was close enough to perfection that giving anything less than 5 felt petty ?♂️⭐️. So the full five stars will have to do. In summary: incredible pizza, would absolutely order again ✅. Casey’s — next time, let's honor the sacred geometry and go with squares so I can achieve true enlightenment ??♂️?. You're so close. Don’t break my heart twice ❤️?. Exhibit A: Look at this masterpiece. You can see how good it is. But also… look at those slices. Triangles. The emotional damage ???”
