  • Nick’s Pizza Garlic Knots (Bethlehem)

    Local, classic garlic knots. These are the way to go.

    When you think garlic knots, you usually think side dish. Afterthought. Something tossed into the corner of your pizza order. Nick’s Pizza in Bethlehem flips that on its head. These garlic knots are the main event. And they’re worth every dollar.

    Price
    $5.95 for 6

    Location on Google Maps
    Nick’s Pizza Restaurant, 822 Main St, Bethlehem, PA 18018

    Value
    4.2/5
    Not insane value, but honestly? Still good. Each of the 6 knots are hefty, pack insane garlic flavor, and are satisfying enough to not feel ripped off. It also comes with some marinara sauce, so you can mix it up with some tomato flavor. Prices have crept up, but quality has stayed solid.

    Texture
    4.8/5
    Excellent slight crisp on the crust, with a soft, fluffy interior that holds the flavor in well without getting soggy or stale.

    Flavor
    4.9/5
    Real garlic flavor. NOT artificial tasting. A bit greasy, but not out of the ordinary. Slight sprinkling of parsley or similar on top for flavor. Flavor’s strong without being overwhelming. Messy in the best way. (Bring napkins or suffer.)

    Overall Vibe
    4.7/5
    For a restaurant garlic knot, Nick’s is very good — especially for an area like Bethlehem, PA. Nick’s commits to their garlic knots — it’s not an afterthought. If you’re local, it’s basically an obligation to grab a box once in a while.

    Additional Comments – Best Way to Eat Them
    If you don’t inhale them immediately, reheat at 350°F for 3–4 minutes. Oven only — no microwaving if you respect yourself.

    Rating: 9.0/10
    Satisfying, real, messy garlic knot goodness. Worth grabbing if you’re nearby and want a quick garlic-fueled snack without regret. They offer great Italian foods as well. Even their cheesesteaks hit. Go try them out — they’ll be good no matter what you get.

    My personal go-to for garlic knots in Bethlehem. It gets my seal of approval.

    Enjoy the rest of your day. Whenever you’re reading this.

  • Wegmans Olive Oil Bread Review

    It’s basically Wegmans garlic bread — just… without the garlic.

    Sometimes you walk into a store thinking you’ll grab garlic bread. Then fate, allergies, or cosmic bad luck hand you something else. Enter Wegmans Olive Oil Bread: all the texture of their garlic loaf, none of the punchy flavor. Is it bad? No. Is it exciting? Also no.

    Price
    $6.00 per loaf

    Value
    3.7/5
    Same as the garlic bread: nice crust, soft interior. The olive oil keeps it moist enough, but it’s definitely missing the little flavor punch that makes the garlic version pop.

    Texture
    4.7/5
    Excellent crunch on the crust, with a soft, fluffy interior that holds the flavor in well without getting soggy. No different from the garlic bread of theirs.

    Flavor
    4.5/5
    Kind of bland. Not bad — just safe, plain, and forgettable. If you like the idea of bread without strong flavors hitting you, it’s perfect. Otherwise, you’re going to miss that garlic goodness real fast.

    Overall Vibe
    4/5
    Honestly, the only reason to get this is if something is physically stopping you from buying the garlic bread. Allergies? Vampire apocalypse? Out of stock? Maybe then.

    Additional Comments
    Toast it with your own garlic butter at home if you’re stuck with it. That’s your best shot at redemption. Otherwise… just buy the garlic bread.

    Calories
    140 per 1.25 slices (Weird amount, but fine)

    Rating: 7/10
    Perfectly fine, but definitely with less flavor than its sibling.

    Enjoy the rest of your day. Whenever you’re reading this.

  • Wegmans Garlic Bread Review

    When it comes to store-bought bread, expectations are usually low. You grab something quick, maybe pop it in the oven, and hope for the best. But sometimes, a humble grocery loaf can actually surprise you. Today, we’re talking about Wegmans Garlic Bread, and why it’s earned a permanent spot in my cart.

    Price
    $6.00 per loaf

    Value
    4/5
    Honestly, the price has been rising for the past few years. At times, coupons are available on the app for small discounts. But overall, not bad value — especially considering the economy at the moment.

    Texture
    4.7/5
    Excellent crunch on the crust, with a soft, fluffy interior that holds the flavor in well without getting soggy.

    Flavor
    4.5/5
    Real garlic flavor. Not artificial tasting. It’s a nice compliment to a sandwich or even alone. Not overpowering, but something that lingers.

    Overall Vibe
    4.3/5
    For a store bakery garlic bread, Wegmans seriously overdelivers. It doesn’t just pass — it genuinely competes with restaurant bread baskets.

    Additional Comments
    Eating this bread on the first day is out of this world. I could eat half the loaf easily. After the first day, it goes downhill, but don’t worry at all. The bread is PERFECT for a sandwich or anything. Just throw it in a toaster for a couple minutes and that crisp bread comes to life.

    Calories
    140 per 1.25 slices (weird amount, but fine)

    Rating: 8.7/10
    Would absolutely recommend for solo snacks or sandwiches. Staple bread — especially if Wegmans is available for you on the East Coast.

    My personal go-to bread. There. I said it.

    Enjoy the rest of your day. Whenever you’re reading this.

    No, I’m not a chef. No, I don’t run a restaurant. I’m just someone who thinks the internet needs more carbs and fewer passive-aggressive emails. This little blog started as a joke, then slowly turned into my favorite place to dump thoughts, make bad puns, and spew thoughts honestly.

    I’m a high school student and chronically online human who finds comfort in eating the one and only garlic bread. You won’t find recipes here (for now), but you will find a scattered and interesting amount of writings from me.

    I write this blog for anyone who:
    – Loves bread
    – Loves garlic bread
    – Loves food??

    If that’s you, welcome. You belong here.
    If it’s not you… maybe stick around anyway. Worst case, you leave with more info, right?

    Thanks for reading.
