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!!

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.

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

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 :(

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. :(

George's Pizza | Provincetown | Film Festival Special Edition



















George's Pizza
Provincetown, MA
Guest Judge: Aunt Dot
Overall Consensus:
Very Greasy
Very Flavorful Sauce, maybe a bit too spicy for 2am


Dot really likes the crust a lot and knows way too many people in this place for a middle aged woman at 2am. This is why she is not only Elizabeth's godmother but one of her BFFs.


Miro says the pizza has a crspy, flavorful crust and greasy cheese. Plus everyone knows here Dot. What could be better at 2am?!?!

Elizabeth says she doesn't really want spicy sauce at 2am (and, in fact it did wake her up with heartburn) but she did really want Dot time and food!
