It is just as well -- Conan's pizza was ok but the service was consistently bad.  I would stop there after work, order a pizza to go and wait for it in one of the booths.  The girl working there would see me sitting there and still put the finished pizza in a box and stick it under the counter (I was usually reading something so I wouldn't notice her doint this).  Since it would take me 15-20 minutes before I realized that it was taking too long, I usually brought home luke-warm pizza.  This happened twice before I realized that it wasn't worth stopping at Conans.
