Look	4.5	3.0	3.8
	Miro's Comments: Looks, how to I say this … real. Check out the photo, doesn't it make you hungry?
	Elizabeth's Comments: The cheese looks a little clumpy and dry.
Smell	4.5	4.0	4.3
	Miro's Comments: Is that garlic I smell?
	Elizabeth's Comments: Smells spicy and delicious.
Temp	4.5	5.0	4.8
	Miro's Comments: Quite hot, even though the delivery took a while
	Elizabeth's Comments: I'm shocked at how hot it is given how long delivery took.
Cheese	4.0	3.0	3.5
	Miro's Comments: A little greasy, I'm tempted to put a napkin on it like those girls in college did, but (like in college) that grease is awful tasty.
	Elizabeth's Comments: It tastes like it looks a little clumpy and dry in your mouth.
Sauce	4.5	3.5	4.0
	Miro's Comments: That is garlic! Not too much though and an excellent sauce cheese balance.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Flavorful and spicy, but a little fake tasting. Like corn syrup.
Crust	4.5	3.0	3.8
	Miro's Comments: A light cornmeal dusting. A toasted taste and nice crisp without being a cracker. Excellent work!
	Elizabeth's Comments: Totally fine. Crispy yet chewy, yet nothing special.
Overall Taste	4.9	3.0	4.0
	Miro's Comments: There's no such thing as perfect, but this was a great pie at a good price, served hot. Perhaps my favorite of all the delivered pies we've ordered thus far!
	Elizabeth's Comments: It tastes like a pizza. Nothing awful. Nothing spectacular. Just a solid pizza at a solid price.
Value Score	109.59	67.10	88.34
Overall Comments	Miro's Comments: I can't believe I married you. I'm not sure this is going to last.
	Elizabeth's Comments: They have great coupons. $12.99 got us a large pizza, 10 wings, and a liter of soda! And as a side note, Miro says I have the better palate.

Look	3.0	5.0	4.0
	Miro's Comments: We violated our cheese pizza rule to our own detriment. It's not that it's not a very attractive pizza … maybe it's just to precious looking for me to want to dig in
	Elizabeth's Comments: It looks like a work of art…though I'm not sure if I want to eat it.
Smell	4.5	3.0	3.8
	Miro's Comments: A clean fresh smell. Mostly I smell Arugula, which I like.
	Elizabeth's Comments: All I smell is arugala. I'm not a fan. Also, the menu didn't mention arugala.
Temp	3.0	3.0	3.0
	Miro's Comments: It wasn't super hot by the time I got to it, but that had more to do with the pit stop I had to make to soak my shirt after a cherry tomato geysered out at me when I cut into it too agressively.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Usually in restaurant is cheating, but apparently it sat out back for a while.
Cheese	4.0	5.0	4.5
	Miro's Comments: Fresh Motzzerella. It has a milky and clean taste that I love, but dammit I want more salt.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Homemade Mozzerella!
Sauce	N/A	N/A	#DIV/0!
	Miro's Comments: Our fault, we got a pie with no sauce.
	Elizabeth's Comments: We messed up and got a sauceless pizza. The two tomotoes per slice looked lonely…and then they attacked Miro.
Crust	4.0	4.5	4.3
	Miro's Comments: It's hard to judge this one against the pizzas that we usually eat. So perhaps I'm judging it overly harshly against high standards, but I wanted more flavor in it. That said, the chewy crispy balance was very good.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Delicious! Chewy yet crunchy, but a tad too burnt in areas
Overall Taste	3.5	3.5	3.5
	Miro's Comments: I just wasn't impressed.
	Elizabeth's Comments: They made the fatal Top Chef mistake - a serious lack of salt! This pizza was desperately seeking salt and there was none to be found - on the pie or on the table.
Value Score	21.15	21.15	21.15
Overall Comments	Miro's Comments: I'm trying not to factor my tomato incident into my opinion. But I think it's creeping into my feelings regardless. To be clear, I blame no one but myself, I understand and ignored basic tomato physics and got punished for it.
	Elizabeth's Comments: The waiter was on the ball, but super weird. The fries and carppacio were yummy too - though carppacio also needed salt.

Look	3.0	5.0	4.0
	Miro's Comments: My usual problem with overly roundness is present, and while there are blackened bits of cheese, they look kinda painted on.
	Elizabeth's Comments: It looks crispy, cheesy and with a few air bubbles scattered in.
Smell	5.0	3.5	4.3
	Miro's Comments: I know. It's silly, but growing up, Papa Gino's was pizza. Those kind of sense memories are hard to shake.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Like cardboard with a hint of basil. I'd probably give it a 3, but there is the pleasant memory of elementary school birthday parties.
Temp	3.5	5.0	4.3
	Miro's Comments: Fine temp, nothing special. (I think Elizabeth snuck a bite early).
	Elizabeth's Comments: Hot!
Cheese	3.5	4.0	3.8
	Miro's Comments: I'd like a little more and a touch more flavor, it's like the franchise pie that it is.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Nice covering, but it gets kinda dry and clumpy in your mouth.
Sauce	4.5	5.0	4.8
	Miro's Comments: Again, it might be the sense memory talking, but this is the slightly peppery sauce of my youth.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Tomatoey, spicy and just the right amount.
Crust	3.5	3.0	3.3
	Miro's Comments: The crispiness comes mostly from the cornmeal dusting. But I like the balance and I get a sense of flavor.
	Elizabeth's Comments: For thin crust you expect a crisp that isn't there. That said, I don't really like crispiness, but I don't like overly chewy either. This is just a little bit too tough. You need to pull it out of your mouth rather aggressively and the flavor is rather bland.
Overall Taste	4.3	4.0	4.1
	Miro's Comments: It's not a gourmet pie, but to me it's pizza.
	Elizabeth's Comments: This is a solid reliable pizza. Nothing fancy, nothing special, but so consistent that it hasn't changed since our all you can eat Tuesday swim team dinners.
Value Score	62.64	58.95	60.80
Overall Comments	Miro's Comments: Was, is and will continue to be my favorite choice for a chain-based pizza. When I need to know there's a familiar pizza around, it's Papa Gino's. Apparently that means I can never leave New England, but at least they have them in the city now.
	Elizabeth's Comments: We probably should have done this earlier; it gives a good baseline to our readers.
