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.

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.

Miro's Comments: Fine temp, nothing special. (I think Elizabeth snuck a
bite early).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
