Dining with the Duchens

By: Saige and Savanah Duchen

Saige (grade 10) and Savanah Duchen (grade 12) decided to travel the NT area to visit five different pizza restaurants and to rate them for you, Graffiti readers.

Please be aware that they are not real food critics, and tend to be a little biased towards thin crust pizza.
