Isn’t it always the case that when you’re hanging out with friends, watching the Sox and getting the munchies, the moment you decide to get take-out, everyone seems to want something different!

Pizza! Subs! Burgers! Mexican!

Everyone has a preference and no one can agree on where to go!

You either decide to get food from six different places (or have it delivered from six different places, keeping your fingers crossed that the delivery guys don’t run into each other and think you’re insane) or you go with a majority vote and wind up with a couple ’a complainers that ruin the second inning by whining.

Well the next time that happens, don’t lose an inning by driving all over town or miss a burner from Beckett because Eddie’s pitchin’ his own fit, just dial up the one stop Lunenburg shop with variety in its name! Centre Pizza and Variety on Massachusetts Avenue has it all - and they deliver. At Centre you can get everything from pizza to quesadillas. Part convenience store, part restaurant, heck you can even buy live bait and breakfast there!

Who could ask for more?

Well, you can ask for great food, but that’s a given, it’s as I said - Centre Pizza delivers!

For instance, why get a plain cheese when you can get a Six Cheese masterpiece or a one-topping pepperoni pizza when you can get an entire Meatlovers! Centre’s specialty Pizzas Gone Wild menu has over 15 different pies to choose from including a Buffalo Chicken, a Philly Cheese Steak and a BLT. Want a pizza you may not find anywhere else? Try the Chicken Divan pizza with chicken, ham, bacon, broccoli and honey mustard.

Centre’s pizzas come in small, large and sheet sizes and the sheet is perfect for large parties.

Does someone want a sandwich? No problem! You can get a sub, Syrian or wrap; a bulkie or a triple-decker. You may or may not like the Yankees but you’ll love the NY Reuben at Centre! Pastrami, coleslaw, Swiss cheese and mustard served on Texas Toast, wheat or a bulkie roll and served up with chips and a pickle. Or just go ahead and add fries for a $1!

How about a burger? What kind! Centre has seven different burgers to choose from, served on a bulkie roll or Texas toast. Get it by itself or as a plate with fries and slaw. The Big Al is a must or bust burger, topped with Swiss cheese, grilled mushrooms and onions and sweet and tangy barbeque sauce.

Fixin’ for a steak and cheese? Why settle for a base hit when you can get a homerun version of this classic. Centre has a steak and pastrami sub, a steak and bacon, a steak and ‘roni, barbeque steak, mushroom steak, pepper steak and so on - you see where I’m going with this?

Or maybe there was something about the Big Papi’s last triple that’s made you want something with some zing? Centre has a variety of chicken wings and tenders that you can get mild, hot or extra hot. They also come in orders as large as 36 wings which is just the right size for a three run, fifth inning rally.

Centre also serves up a spicy collection of quesadillas stuffed with tomatoes, olives, jalapenos, onions and cheese and served with salsa and sour cream.

Whew, that’s a lot of food already, and I haven’t even talked about half of it. Centre also has over 15 different salads to choose from, seafood and pasta dishes, strombolis, soups and appetizers - plenty of appetizers. You want fries? You’ll have to decide if you want regular, curly or waffle, or if you want, go with Jojo potato wedges instead (covered in chili and cheese perhaps?)

So the next time you and your buddies have a hankerin’ for everything check out Centre Pizza so you don’t strike out.
