Miro's Comments: Plenty of cheese but it has that round thing that makes it seem like it was stamped out of a machine.  Where is the love?
Elizabeth's Comments: Not all that cheesy and has that fake, overly round look.

Miro's Comments: I had to drive this thing home, I am now sweating oregano. 
Elizabeth's Comments: I was worried when I walked past the box because the overwhelming "stinky feet" smell but up close it's not as strong.  There are also hints of herb.

Miro's Comments: Apparently I need one of those warming bags when I'm picking up a pizza to drive it home. 
Elizabeth's Comments: It's freezing, but, we picked it up.

Miro's Comments: Plenty of it on my slice and a blend that has nice cheese flavor.  Half a point off for lack of toasting on top. 
Elizabeth's Comments: Not that much of it and it's super chunky, not stringy.

Miro's Comments: Real flavor in the sauce.  There is the love.
 Elizabeth's Comments: I like that it has real tomatoes but it also has some not pleasant flavors and smells that I can't identify.

Miro's Comments: Really disappointing.  Not much crunch or chew, it's more like a soft flatbread.
Elizabeth's Comments: Super flimsy and not totally cooked.

Miro's Comments: Impressive and tasty, but not quite All-Star.  I think in the future I may order a pie well-done and it may be the perfect pizza.
Elizabeth's Comments: Meh.  Some unusual tastes I can't identify, a lack of cheese, on a flimsy, undercooked crust.

Miro's Comments: I was trying so hard to be a perfect delivery guy on this one, apparently it is an art I can't master, I always get the pizza home cold.
Elizabeth's Comments: Our living room smells so bad!

Miro's Comments: Surprisingly greasy fit such a fancy place. Elizabeth
says it just needs to set. She may be right but I'm hungry.
Elizabeth's Comments: This pizza, overall, looks very tasty but there is a very inconsistent cheese distribution (sorry about the lack of pic, we're a little rusty)

Overall Comments
Miro's Comments: The service was so catastrophically off, that I have to
think it was an exception
Elizabeth's Comments: The 4.25 is mainly for the pizza.  The restaurant is kind of lacking in the service department.  It took us 15+ mins to get approached, drinks took forever, and our server asked if I wanted a refill then reappeared dozens of times without it - I finished my pizza - parched - long before iced tea or waters refills ever arrived.
