Heard from friends that Modesto's have got money-worthy pizzas so we thought, "why not?". My partner and I gave it a shot after evening church service in the area. The reliable words came reliable, indeed it was a satisfying dinner. What more was that they had(and have) this ongoing promotion for $48 net for 2, which you'll get a starter(soup or salad), 2 main courses(selected pizzas and pastas) and a dessert to complete a dinner. We ordered a caesar salad, bacon and cheese flavoured pizza, carbonara and tiramisu. All those were also accompanied with complimentary bread and butter/olive oil/vinegar(usual restaurant thing, y'know). But wow, mind you, their servings are huge. Generous. I'd warn that the tiramisu is 4 times the size of what you'd get at regular bakeries. Salad came in a large dish too. The bacon and cheese pizza was good as it is thin-crust so it didn't feel so junky. The cheese melts in your mouth and bacon meat had its flavor. Carbonara pasta however, had too much whipping cream in it, causing it to have a over-sinful feel. Nevertheless, I personally liked the tiramisu best as it wasn't too sweet and retained its rum fragrant.

Don't mind going back to Modesto's again. Good service, helpful and efficient staff who kept a smile on them. A pity that 2 of us couldn't finish all the food though. Perhaps 3 average-portion eaters would be more ideal.
