Mariposa Pizza Factory

So I spent this past Sunday hiking around in Yosemite National Park with some friends; the views were spectacular, the company was even better.  On the way back home from the park, there's a small mountain town  called Mariposa, named for the butterflies that can be seen during the winter seasons.  The whole town has this sortof old-west feel to it, needless to say its quite an interesting town.
Anyhow, it is home to a place called the Mariposa Pizza Factory (yes I know its a franchise).  The place makes their own pizza dough and sauces on site, not very franchise-esque; and they do a great job.  My buddy and I decided to split a medium linguica and pastrami pizza.  We're both big boys, and it was enough to satisfy us both.
It was the first time I've ever had pastrami on a pizza, IT WAS FREAKIN GOOD!  As a matter of fact, it was the first time I've ever had pastrami and cheese together   Food was great, the restaurant is awesome.  Its very age friendly.  There's a game room in the back, the children traveling with us had a blast on the claw-machine.  It was a good claw-machine too, well decent...all the stuffed animals were accessible, not crammed in like the others.  Both the 6 and 3 year old's left with a souvenir.  I digress... there's flat screen tv's around with sports on (made the information lockdown on world cup scores nearly impossible); and about 6 beers on tap plus plenty more on bottles; just enough to be refreshed and fed after a day of hiking.
