Miro's Comments:  Greasy and
unevenly cooked, but the toasted side looks very appealing.

Elizabeth's Comments: Very uneven looking. Large black splotches I assume are
spice, but nevertheless they look very unappetizing.

Miro's Comments: Good cheese smell with a heavy odor of parmesan

Elizabeth's Comments: I smell something really really odd I can't put my finger
on.

Miro's Comments: My fault on the low temp score. I dawdled before picking
it up.

Elizabeth's Comments: The over is on for the next slice, but that's partially
Miro's fault.

Cheese

4.5

3.0

3.8

Miro's Comments: Awfully greasy, but it has that authentic cheese tang.
It's also in a thick enough layers to really provide some bite.

Elizabeth's Comments: This slice has a lot on it but it's very bland and very greasy.

Sauce

4.0

3.0

Miro's Comments: I'm not sure if it's good sauce or bad sauce. It's got a
strong flavor that I rather like. It reminds me of pizza from the places we
went to as a kid. Strong and herbey.

Elizabeth's Comments: This slice doesn't really have sauce on it so I can't
really tell even when I stick my tongue under the cheese to fish for it.

Crust

4.0

2.5

3.3

Miro's Comments: I took my sample slice from the more toasted side of the
pizza. It's a little cold, so it doesn't have the crisp it might have had coming
out of the over, but it's got decent flavor and a good chew.

Elizabeth's Comments: It's doughy which I usually like, but there is not crisp
or structure to it which gives a soggy feel.

Miro's Comments: Coming out of the oven, I bet this was great. It's the
kind of place that if I lived near, I think I'd bring friends for a relaxed
eat in dinner.

Elizabeth's Comments: I still think this pizza has a weird small and a weird aftertaste
the entire time I've been eating it.

Miro's Comments: The sign on the door said they were closing early. Thanks
for waiting up for me.

Elizabeth's Comments: I was very excited that it was homemade dough and walking
distance from my office, but I wish I had enjoyed it more.
