Miro's Comments: Alas, it's a little crumpled on one side. Otherwise it is
pleasantly cheesy. We were talking about Greek style pizza earlier so I'm
excited to see the thicket crust. A round pie doesn't bother me as much when
it's obviously been cooked a pan.

Elizabeth's Comments: I may have hiccupped with joy over the sight of this one
- so thick & cheesy!!!  (Slight
messed up-ness though, loses the perfect score)

Miro's Comments: Delivery luke warm

have to go in the oven

Miro's Comments: lots of chewy cheese, but not much flavor to it. If we
were in a pizzeria I'd be reaching for the oregano

Elizabeth's Comments: A lot of it, which I like, but it's coming off in these
large, thick chunks, which I don't like.
It's as if the cheese is dry/not stringy yet it is covered in
oil.  Fascinating.

Miro's Comments: Lightly herbed, but I would like more flavor to stand up
to the thick layer of low-flavored cheese

Elizabeth's Comments: The right amount of tomato mixed with indefinable
spices.  No sweetness, just tang,
tomato, and herbiness.  Not bad.

Miro's Comments: Very bread like in taste and consistency. Not much to
love, but nothing to object to either.

Elizabeth's Comments:  Thick and chewy
with some crunch.

Miro's Comments: A pizza that defines the word average.

Elizabeth's Comments: Pretty good all put together.  I just finished the slice and the sauce is
already a little heart-burny and I wish the cheesy was cheesier but it's a
solid pizza.

Miro's Comments: Don't get me wrong. I love average

Elizabeth's Comments: I had a dire craving for Greek-style pizza so into Yelp
"Greek pizza" went & out this place came.  Not the greatest Greek pizza ever, but it
fulfilled my craving.
