Miro's Comments: It's certainly not a great pizza. It might not be a bad pizza, but it's definitely not my style.
Elizabeth's Comments: There's a weird aftertaste that I think comes from an assortment of jar'd spices that have been in plastic for too long.

Pizza Ring | Cambridge


Pizza Ring

So one of the dangers of sitting on reviews for 3 weeks is that you can't remember what you said and thought at the time. For this review, we'd like to thank our guest reviewers Jess & Joe for enduring an odd 30 minutes where we grilled them on their deepest, most intimate feelings about delivery pizza. We'd also like to apologize that Miro didn't take very good notes on what they said.

Joe's Comments: Great cut, great symmetry, even dispursement, but the thick crust makes it look small.

Points off through no fault of Dante, Elizabeth tripped on her way up the
stairs.

Under sauced, but a good taste of actual tomato.

Miro's Comments: A big disappointment, not because it was

an underdone, overly chewy middle. At least the exterior was still good and
crunchy.


Elizabeth's Comments: Crispy in parts, but lacking something.

Elizabeth's Comments: This pizza looks like it should be good, but it's lacking
in flavor and has some sort of aftertaste.
