W<\/strong>HEN YOU think of the name \u201cVivid Journey,\u201d what do you picture? For me, it\u2019s brightness and lots of color. I think of white, puffy clouds in the sky as you are lying on your back, watching a butterfly land on a daisy blowing in the wind. I think of a simpler time when there wasn\u2019t a care in the world. Of course, this is what I thought before I stepped foot into Decherd\u2019s Vivid Journey \u2013 Caf\u00e9, Bar, & Smoke Shop.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitting down at the bar, I decided to check out the menu and saw a wide selection of pizza, \u201cdillas n dogs,\u201d and \u201csammiches\u201d to choose from. Their pizzas included namesakes such as \u201cCheese and Chong,\u201d \u201cSticky Icky,\u201d and \u201cBio-Diesel.\u201d The sandwiches were given names such as \u201cAK-47\u201d or \u201cDobbin Reuben.\u201d I decided to go for the pizza and chose the \u201cMaui Waui.\u201d Barbecue was my choice of sauce to compliment the soft, doughy crust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I waited for my order, I decided to shoot a quick game of pool with Jimmy, one of the workers. A short while later, Josh, the owner, brought out a smoking hot, sizzling pizza. I had asked for it to be put in a box, knowing I wouldn\u2019t finish it myself in one sitting. I tried so hard to refrain from taking that risky first bite and burning the entire roof of my mouth on the spot, as I could not wait after smelling the cheesy, sauce-smothered sensation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One bite, then another, and another. The crust was crisp but not burned, the toppings were plentiful, and the seasoning and sauce were perfect. There was just the right amount of cheese to blend all the flavors perfectly together. Every bite was just as good as the first. This pizza was the best I have had in a long, long time. This, combined with the friendly atmosphere, will bring me back time and time again. I can\u2019t wait for my next slice! GN\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
