Comments:
The
cheese goes a little too far to the edge, but it looks perfectly cooked.

Elizabeth's
Comments:
Cheesy!
Flavorful! But it looses points for looking like one of those microwave
pizzas without a discernible crust

Comments:
I
really had to get my nose up in there to get just a faint hint of parmesan.

Elizabeth's
Comments:
Very
spicy, but not necessarily in a garden-fresh or "real" sort of way.

I don't
understand how it's lukewarm when it got here do fast.

Miro's
Comments:
Not
much flavor to the cheese, not even that parm I detected by smell, but at
least appropriately salty.

Elizabeth's
Comments:
There's
a lot of it, but it's kinda tough and chewy, and it has a little bit of an
overpowering stinkyfeet smell.

Miro's
Comments:
Having
trouble locating much sauce. The bit that I find is unremarkable

Elizabeth's
Comments:
I like
that it's not sweet, but I don't like that it has a non-descript and
non-necessarily pleasant flavor.

Miro's
Comments:
Not my
favorite style of crust. Much more chewy than crispy with the cornmeal
dusting underneath. For what it is, it's good. But I prefer more crisp to
chew

Elizabeth's
Comments:
Thicker
than it appears and a nice chew. Also, a nice cornmeal crunch that is a nice
surprise, but it has very limited actual crust edges.

Comments:

Unremarkable, but solid. I can and have served this at parties where I just
needed volume of decent pizza. The box tells me that if I get 5 pies, they
are only $7 each.

Elizabeth's
Comments:
The
parm in the cheese overpowers the non-descript flavors in the sauce and I
don't really care for the entire blend.

We
ordered this pizza in bulk for parties before, but we held off from ordering
it for dinner because my aversion to the sauce/cheese. That might have
tainted my review. I apologize for being a bad researcher.
