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)

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.

Digging the look. Toasted crust. Toasted cheese. Natural looking shape. Nice
work guys

  Looses points for being really burnt
on one half, but, the cheesy-ness makes me excited!

A major weak spot, it took forever, but it still retains some warmth

Elizabeth's

Based on the time it took and the temp of our fries (frigid) I expected the
worse.  This is by no means hot,
but, it's edible luke-warm.

A little salty, but nicely balanced with sauce and good texture

Elizabeth's

Some how both greasy and dry simultaneously.  Don't know how that happens.  However, there is a ton of it and haven't
had a super cheesy pizza in a while!

I'm really liking the sauce. It doesn't taste super natural, but it's bright
and without chemical taste to me.

Elizabeth's

There is so little sauce that I can't even figure out what it tastes like.

Miro's
Comments:

Some disappointment on my initial high hopes for a super, duper crust. That said
it's plenty chewy and has some crisp on the edges. I would have liked more
crunch though.

Elizabeth's
Comments:

Medium-thickness and a nice chewiness.
However, it's lacking any type of crispiness and, instead, even the
piece I picked that didn’t' look burnt, tastes really burnt at the
edges.

One of the best delivery pizza's I've had in a while. I wish it had come

I'm liking the charred crust, maybe because our home toaster has been
underpowered lately.

Elizabeth's
Comments:

This pizza has potential.  A touch
more sauce, a touch less burnt and it would be pretty stellar.

Miro's Comments: Alas, it's a little crumpled on one side. Otherwise it is
pleasantly cheesy. We were talking about Greek style pizza earlier so I'm
excited to see the thicket crust. A round pie doesn't bother me as much when
it's obviously been cooked a pan.

Elizabeth's Comments: I may have hiccupped with joy over the sight of this one
- so thick & cheesy!!!  (Slight
messed up-ness though, loses the perfect score)

Miro's Comments: lots of chewy cheese, but not much flavor to it. If we
were in a pizzeria I'd be reaching for the oregano

Elizabeth's Comments: A lot of it, which I like, but it's coming off in these
large, thick chunks, which I don't like.
It's as if the cheese is dry/not stringy yet it is covered in
oil.  Fascinating.

Miro's Comments: Lightly herbed, but I would like more flavor to stand up

tomato, and herbiness.  Not bad.

Miro's Comments: Don't get me wrong. I love average

Elizabeth's Comments: I had a dire craving for Greek-style pizza so into Yelp
"Greek pizza" went & out this place came.  Not the greatest Greek pizza ever, but it
fulfilled my craving.
