	Miro Score	Elizabeth Score	Average
Look	3.0	5.0	4.0
	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	5.0	3.5	4.3
	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.
Temp	3.5	5.0	4.3
	Miro's Comments: Fine temp, nothing special. (I think Elizabeth snuck a bite early).
	Elizabeth's Comments: Hot!
Cheese	3.5	4.0	3.8
	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	4.5	5.0	4.8
	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	3.5	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.
Overall Taste	4.3	4.0	4.1
	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.
Value Score	62.64	58.95	60.80
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.

	Miro Score	Elizabeth Score	Average
Look	4.0	3.5	3.8
	Miro's Comments: It looked absolutely perfect, and one inch larger than promised. Oh wait, except for that giant smooshed side of the pie inside the box.
	Elizabeth's Comments: It got really messed up in transport (see photo).
Smell	3.5	3.0	3.3
	Miro's Comments: Smelled great coming in the door, but weaker up close than I expected.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Nothing special a bit greasy
Temp	3.5	3.5	3.5
	Miro's Comments: But we let it sit for a while.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Could have been hotter, but not awful.
Cheese	4.0	3.0	3.5
	Miro's Comments: I had a really hard time with this one. I was either 4 or 2. It has a unique taste to it that I think is real cheese and a chewiness that you don't get often enough. I think I'm too used to bad pizza (Miro to Elizabeth: Nice palate!)
	Elizabeth's Comments: There's a lot of it, but it wouldn't stay on the pizza. For testing purposes I had to take a different slice of pizza because all the cheese fell off on its way to my plate (Elizabeth to Miro: that taste is a heavy parm aftertaste)
Sauce	3.5	3.5	3.5
	Miro's Comments: A little watery, but solid tomato Flavor. I suspect Elizabeth might not like its sweetness, but I'm more of a fan.
	Elizabeth's Comments: It tastes like real tomatoes but there's not that much of it.
Crust	3.0	1.0	2.0
	Miro's Comments: I like a really crispy crust. This wasn't it, but the crust is solid and there's enough crispiness in the edge to make me satisfied
	Elizabeth's Comments: This is super rubbery. My first thought: pizza gum.
Overall Taste	4.5	3.0	3.8
	Miro's Comments: One of the few times where a pie is more than the sum of its parts. I was very happy with this pie. One of the few I'd be willing to repeat. Here's to hoping Elizabeth was a fan too. I think she might be, but we famously disagree except on the pizzas we hate.
	Elizabeth's Comments: With the fresh tasting ingredients this has potential, but I found it a giant rubbery mess.
Value Score	79.60	53.07	66.33
Overall Comments	Miro's Comments: And, I like that a half pizza topping is half the price of a full topping.
	Elizabeth's Comments: Please note, we are still being scientific by having half of this pizza be cheese, but we are sick of just cheese.
