Miro's Comments: Natural and nicely crisped cheese. I'm also pretty excited by the size of a 17 incher
Elizabeth's Comments: Looks tasty - lots of crisp cheese & sauce - loses points for looking like the delivery guy almost dropped it.

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

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.

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

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

3.0
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.

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.

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.
