| - I dislike writing reviews like this, I really do. I will not, however, shy away from what I see as my duty as a dedicated Yelper to give my opinion simply because a restaurant has been around a long time and is beloved by some of the local population. This pizza is not to my liking. The crust was overly doughy and tasteless. There was not enough sauce and way, way too many toppings and cheese. We ordered a large pie with half black olives and mushrooms, half green olives and roasted red pepper. The amount of olives, mushrooms and peppers on the pizza was simply overkill...more is not better, and they don't get that. If they were bothering to really look at what they were sending out of the kitchen here, they would see that loading a pizza with an overabundance of toppings creates pools of liquid that are unappetizing; the dough gets drenched and soggy and nothing crisps up and caramelizes. The cheese was barely melted and hardened as we ate it...again, there was just too much of it. Some people may be pleased and gratified by what they perceive as the abbondanza of this pizza, that luxurious sense of abundance that comes from getting just a bit more than one needs. They've gone beyond that into the ridiculous here, and have created a product that is not well balanced, not tasty, just not good.
