Miro's Comments:  Greasy and
unevenly cooked, but the toasted side looks very appealing.

Elizabeth's Comments: Very uneven looking. Large black splotches I assume are
spice, but nevertheless they look very unappetizing.

Miro's Comments: My fault on the low temp score. I dawdled before picking
it up.

Elizabeth's Comments: The over is on for the next slice, but that's partially
Miro's fault.

Miro's Comments: Awfully greasy, but it has that authentic cheese tang.
It's also in a thick enough layers to really provide some bite.

Elizabeth's Comments: This slice has a lot on it but it's very bland and very greasy.

Sauce

Miro's Comments: I'm not sure if it's good sauce or bad sauce. It's got a
strong flavor that I rather like. It reminds me of pizza from the places we
went to as a kid. Strong and herbey.

Elizabeth's Comments: This slice doesn't really have sauce on it so I can't
really tell even when I stick my tongue under the cheese to fish for it.

Crust

Miro's Comments: I took my sample slice from the more toasted side of the
pizza. It's a little cold, so it doesn't have the crisp it might have had coming
out of the over, but it's got decent flavor and a good chew.

Elizabeth's Comments: It's doughy which I usually like, but there is not crisp
or structure to it which gives a soggy feel.

Miro's Comments: Coming out of the oven, I bet this was great. It's the
kind of place that if I lived near, I think I'd bring friends for a relaxed
eat in dinner.

Elizabeth's Comments: I still think this pizza has a weird small and a weird aftertaste
the entire time I've been eating it.

for waiting up for me.

Elizabeth's Comments: I was very excited that it was homemade dough and walking
distance from my office, but I wish I had enjoyed it more.

Miro's Comments: Cheesy and toasted just right, but for some reason it
looks a little frail

Elizabeth's Comments: The pizza itself looks ok - a nice coating of cheese,
maybe a bit overdone in parts, but I am grossed out by the burnt flakes all
over the box, the grease stains down the side, and the random mushroom (I
think?!)

Miro's Comments: Whoa there cheese grease. I'm usually not a blotter, but
I might make an exception for this pie.

also has a ton of grease covering it!

liked because I like rosemary) but the second piece was less flavorful.  The ratio is good though.

Elizabeth's Comments: This pizza is nowhere near burnt, yet, there is black
crap everywhere.  It's like random soot
from the oven.  I can't get over the
feeling that my pizza is dirty.
