While At Gen Con 50, I had the chance to experience Hot Box Pizza, the makers of the Official Gen Con Pizza, and I have to let you know about it.

The server greeted me promptly, but she seemed a little nervous – it turned out I was her first customer out of training. She was a blast, but asked to keep her name out of the review. She took care of my order, just as expected, and then we had a great conversation about Gen Con before my meal came.
