“I ate Prime Time almost every weekend Freshman year. Mostly because it was delicious and also because it’s the only pizza place number I didn’t have to try hard to remember (309-888-9999).”
-Caitlin Haines, Senior
“My brother and cousin used to go here and when they were coming back from going out they would go into Prime Time and run behind the counters when they were busy and would help answer phone calls. They’re now Facebook friends with the owner and there’s pictures of them hanging up.”
– Morgan Malone, Senior
“I went there no less than 20 times after Pub Wednesday my senior year, 10 of them being by myself. One time I ate two slices in in the corner of Prime Time by myself.”

-Alex Persons, Junior

“I once had a really good onion and green pepper pizza from there. And I always took lots of Parmesan packets so thank you Prime Time for that.”
