Look	3.0	5.0	4.0
	Miro's Comments: My usual problem with overly roundness is present, and while there are blackened bits of cheese, they look kinda painted on.
	Elizabeth's Comments: It looks crispy, cheesy and with a few air bubbles scattered in.
Smell	5.0	3.5	4.3
	Miro's Comments: I know. It's silly, but growing up, Papa Gino's was pizza. Those kind of sense memories are hard to shake.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Like cardboard with a hint of basil. I'd probably give it a 3, but there is the pleasant memory of elementary school birthday parties.
Temp	3.5	5.0	4.3
	Miro's Comments: Fine temp, nothing special. (I think Elizabeth snuck a bite early).
	Elizabeth's Comments: Hot!
Cheese	3.5	4.0	3.8
	Miro's Comments: I'd like a little more and a touch more flavor, it's like the franchise pie that it is.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Nice covering, but it gets kinda dry and clumpy in your mouth.
Sauce	4.5	5.0	4.8
	Miro's Comments: Again, it might be the sense memory talking, but this is the slightly peppery sauce of my youth.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Tomatoey, spicy and just the right amount.
Crust	3.5	3.0	3.3
	Miro's Comments: The crispiness comes mostly from the cornmeal dusting. But I like the balance and I get a sense of flavor.
	Elizabeth's Comments: For thin crust you expect a crisp that isn't there. That said, I don't really like crispiness, but I don't like overly chewy either. This is just a little bit too tough. You need to pull it out of your mouth rather aggressively and the flavor is rather bland.
Overall Taste	4.3	4.0	4.1
	Miro's Comments: It's not a gourmet pie, but to me it's pizza.
	Elizabeth's Comments: This is a solid reliable pizza. Nothing fancy, nothing special, but so consistent that it hasn't changed since our all you can eat Tuesday swim team dinners.
Value Score	62.64	58.95	60.80
Overall Comments	Miro's Comments: Was, is and will continue to be my favorite choice for a chain-based pizza. When I need to know there's a familiar pizza around, it's Papa Gino's. Apparently that means I can never leave New England, but at least they have them in the city now.
	Elizabeth's Comments: We probably should have done this earlier; it gives a good baseline to our readers.

Look	4.0	3.0	3.5
	Miro's Comments: I’d like more cheese, it looks good but I fear my slice will come away with no cheese.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Cheesy is very seperated and clumpy but they have one of those little white plastic table things I haven't seen in years!!
Smell	3.5	3.0	3.3
	Miro's Comments: Sweet and very mild, but somehow enticing ... which is weird
	Elizabeth's Comments: I smell nothing. No spices, no cardboard, no grease, so I'm going neutral, I just smell nothing.
Temp	4.5	4.0	4.3
	Miro's Comments: nice and hot
	Elizabeth's Comments: good temp but not as hot as I would have expected for such quick delivery
Cheese	3.0	2.0	2.5
	Miro's Comments: Alas, as feared it was hard to keep the cheese from floating off with a sheen of sauce. The greasiness is appreciated after an evening of drink, but I might feel different in the light of day.
	Elizabeth's Comments: grainy & sparse
Sauce	2.5	3.0	2.8
	Miro's Comments: There’s a lot of it. Perhaps too much. Or perhaps enough if it were anchored with more cheese. But it’s thin and weak.
	Elizabeth's Comments: I can't tell, it is over powered by the burnt crust flavor
Crust	4.0	1.0	2.5
	Miro's Comments: Great consistency. Mostly crisp with a bit of chew, but not much flavor.
	Elizabeth's Comments: burnt!!!!! Hard!!
Overall Taste	3.0	2.0	2.5
	Miro's Comments: points for fast quick deliver that keep the pie hot, but I can’t ignore the thin sauce and off-flavor of the cheese.
	Elizabeth's Comments: I was so excited. I got this pizza 2 years ago for a bachelorette party and it was awesome. I have no idea what happened. So sad :(
Value Score	54.84	36.56	45.70
Overall Comments	Miro's Comments: It’s late and I’ve had a few. I think the guys at Bravo might have too. My advice: order earlier in the evening when you and bakers are on their game.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Picked based on the fact that we knew it was open super late on weekends and we're starving, plus I had it a couple years ago and really wanted good pizza. Too bad the fantasy didn't live up to the reality. :(
