Miro's Comments: Greasy pools. tomato sauce beyond the cheese. I can't help but think Cafeteria pizza. That said, I liked my cafeteria pizza in high school
Elizabeth's Comments: Greasy and uneven cheese coverage.

Miro's Comments: A decent coating on the piece I got, but only mild flavor. A shake of parm is much needed.
Elizabeth's Comments: A lot of it but stringy, greasy, and not
much flavor.

Miro's Comments: Not much sauce on this piece, but what there is ... is fine.
Elizabeth's Comments: Sugary sweet. My sauce nemesis...but there is an every three or so bite hit of basil or oregano.

Miro's Comments: Not overcooked, not undercooked. Not flavorful, but not lacking flavor
Elizabeth's Comments: An interesting combo of too limp to hold up the grease/sauce/cheese, yet a yummy flaky, delicate taste when you get the outer edge.

Miro's Comments: I think this is the first review we've ever done where I've written this without knowing the price. This is the kind of pizza about which my opinion will entirely come down to the price.
Elizabeth's Comments: With the nice delivery boy and the quick delivery, I was hoping for more from the actual pizza (and that makes me sound like an old lady...)

Miro's Comments: Floppy. Is it weird that the word that comes to my mind is floppy.

Elizabeth's Comments:
Very cheesy! But, also very greasy a little worried about it slipping off.

Miro's Comments: I smell herbs. Real live herbs. I forgot what they smell like on delivery pizza. Not sure Elizabeth is smelling them. She just went in for like her 5th smell.

Elizabeth's Comments:
Cheese & faint hints of spice - not at all as greasy smelling as it looks

Not bad for delivery. Pretty bad for a place 2 blocks from us

Warm, but disappointing for coming from SO CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE!

Miro's Comments:
A little thin on the cheese and not much flavor

Elizabeth's Comments:
I'm torn. There is a lot of it, but, it's very greasy and it's got a crumbly texture to it.

Miro's Comments:
That's where those herbs were hiding. I don't care if it's from a can or not.
I like it

Elizabeth's Comments:
Oregano! I taste an actual spice I can name! It's not generic "spice." That said, the tomato part is rather thin, as is the coating of sauce in general.

Crust

Miro's Comments:
It was pretty floppy in the middle, but that's fine. The edges are doughy
where I was yearning for some snap. If a pie is going to be this doughy, the
crust better have really well developed flavor.

Elizabeth's Comments:
Wimpy. This pizza does not stand up on it's own, the grease means you need to fold over the slice to eat it but it has a nice, clean, fresh taste to it that is different than the frozen crusts we usually get.

Miro's Comments:
Benefits from a flavorful sauce and good size, but suffers from the lack of
flavor and volume on the cheese. I think a touch longer in the oven would be
more to my taste.

Elizabeth's Comments:
Really good for being really greasy. I wish the cheese was smoother and there was a bit more sauce.

Miro's Comments:
This is one of those pizzas where price makes all the difference. At a buck
less it would be a steal.

Elizabeth's Comments:
If this place is open late, it's probably dangerous to know it exists for
those walks home from ... ummmm ... studying when all you want is a greasy slice of pizza.
