Miro's Comments: I’m warming up to these overly round pan pizzas. I think
because the coating of cheese is nice and thick. I think Elizabeth has taught
me to appreciate when the cheese is toasty. It does look mighty greasy
though.

Elizabeth's Comments: SO Cheesy!  But,
the overly round-ness that makes me worry it's a frozen crust…

Miro's Comments: Pretty standard pie smell. You can smell cheese, but not
much else in the way of herb.

Elizabeth's Comments: Cheese & Grease

Miro's Comments: Most of the cheese flavor seems to come from the
toasting, and that’s not a bad thing.

Elizabeth's Comments: Not super flavorful and really greasy, but, crispy and a
lot of it!

Miro's Comments: I like the sauce just fine.

Elizabeth's Comments: There is a very thin layer of a slightly too sweet
sauce.  I usually don't like sauce
sweet, but, this one works with the overly greasy cheese.

Miro's Comments: I think the thing that bothers me most about these pan
pizzas is the crust. It usually lacks crunch except at the very outside where
it gets really dry. The flavor always seems underdeveloped and unbalanced

Elizabeth's Comments: Oh boy.  I don't
know how to describe this crust.  It's
chewy, but not in a good way.  It's
just really hard to get your teeth through the bottom of the pizza - like
when you microwave something too long.
Not sure how you get that effect in a pizza oven - frozen crust not
fully cooked through?

Miro's Comments: Inoffensive and unremarkable.

Elizabeth's Comments: The overall flavors are not bad.  This is a pretty average pizza.  The crust consistency is a bit off which
brought the overall down, but the extra cheese brought it up a notch

Miro's Comments: I have no further remarks.

Elizabeth's Comments: I noticed when filling in this sheet that their website
advertises this as Greek pizza.  That
is news to me.  This is so thin!
