| - I fought this decision down to tooth and nail. In the end, I lost because we simply couldn't go two blocks anywhere else from Double Down. Random pizza shops are always a gamble which rarely pan out.
We order a large pepperoni pizza, and our pizza man couldn't be more excited. He gets to work, and we take our seats in the dining area. There was no difference in the outside temperature and inside which made the twenty minute wait a little bit more excruciating. The pizza comes out and it is shimmering, light reflecting off its greasy shores. I attempted to take the first slice off of it, and it slips easily off the server, upside down back into the pan. The lack of rise in the bread and grease had made it completely unwieldy. I take a bite out of one of the slices, and it didn't taste so bad, but it was annoying that I had to roll up the slice to be able to hold it. So what's wrong with this pizza?
The main problem is the crust either needs to be thick or thin. If it is thin, then it should be crisp in order to maintain the integrity of the slice. One solution would be to pre-bake the crust rather than sending it into the oven with all the toppings. Also, leaner pepperoni could reduce the grease.
Really nice guy who appreciated our business, but pizza simply missed the mark.
