Pizza by the slice places are great for lunch when I am out conducting my life on a schedule. AJs is usually top notch. I was a little late for standard lunch. It was 2:30 in the afternoon and this could be the reason this is a 3 star rating.
It seemed I was getting a great deal for this monstrous slice. Sausage, Bell Peppers, Red Onion etc......and the pizza wasn't cut symmetrically, so I told the guy exactly which piece I wanted (HUGE). My mouth started to water as he box it up for me.....Mmmm
I was the 1st to a slice out of this pizza. Everything was good except the crust. The crust was not cooked all the way or it was a little soggy from setting a bit too long. I am not sure which one. The other ingredients and flavors were all great! However, the crust is the foundation of pizza.
I expect more from AJs, than a normal store, because I am usually paying more. AJs crust had expired for me. This was NOT a gourmet experience. I reached so high for lunch and landed in a soft doughy mediocrity, that I can only offer 3 measly stars. At least it is 3 stars though. I am accepting partial responsibility for this one due to my timing.
Still love the price and pizza, but perhaps I shouldn't eat lunch so late. There are benefits to the wait during lunch rush, because everything is fresh....
