I just looked them up. Although there is one in Bothell, I'm not really sure
where it is other than that it's in a part of the city that I try hard to
avoid because the traffic is terrible there. It's $18 for the family sized
Cowboy one. And in looking at the ingredients, it is something I would never
eat. I just very much dislike those toppings. I don't really even like pizza
in general. I mainly only get it if I can get it for cheap. The teens seem
to like it and my husband likes it, so it's mainly for them when I do get
it.

That just doesn't seem like a good deal to me. For less than $12, I can get
two medium ones that are already baked and I know they will get eaten.
