Looks handmade and well toasted, but there is a greasy layer of red oil, I'm
worried there won't be enough cheese.

Comments:

Fairly cheesy and homeamde looking. A bit on the greasey side in that

Not much smell to note beyond grease.

It's smells very greasy, but on my tenth sniff I got a hint of spice.

Comments:

Mostly a strong oil and grease flavor. Not bad, but not exactly gourmet
either.

Elizabeth's
Comments:

SO. MUCH. GREASE. There is a lot of cheese, which I like, but it does that
seperating thing that I hate and the grease flavor overpowers the cheese
flavor.

The sauce was fine. I have nothing more to say.

Elizabeth's
Comments:

When I could acutally find the sauce it was quite flavorful and strong,
however the sauce needs to be increased or the greese needs to decreased for the balance to work out.

While lacking in flavor, the texture of the crust is excellent. Chewy
throughout with a crisp on the edges.

Elizabeth's
Comments:

This dough is so fresh tasting which doesn't happen
very often. It loses a point for being overly chewey. I really have to tug at
it.

Practically the Mendoza line of delivery pizzas. Good in basically every
category, though exceptional in none. That said, if
I lived near this place, I'd be happy to make it my standby pizzeria. I bet
they are exceptionally consistent. Every neighborhood should have a place
like this.

Elizabeth's
Comments:

If it wasn't so greasy I think this pizza would be awesome. As it stands
though, I have pretty nasty heartburn after one slice.

I wish there were a way to give extra points for service. Not sure what it
was, but the guy on the phone gave me this great old Somerville vibe.

Elizabeth's
Comments:

The delivery guy was nice too.

  1. My favorite pizza in the Somerville Medford area. Moved to Boston for a couple of years and still went to Mama Lisa's for a pizza fix.
