| - I would actually give this place about 3.75 Stars, which I rounded up to 4.
It was very solid, freshly made, and with great ingredients, but my main critique was that the overall effect was, for me, a very lightly-topped, under-sauced, under-flavored Pizza, but well made from really good ingredients.
I had the assorted Pide, and it was quite good, but just not quite up to all of the rave reviews that I suppose had set my expectations very high.
The decor is very funky and over the top, with it's slightly claustrophobic cave theme and slab wood furniture, but fun.
So, to summarize, if I'm comparing this to Pizza Pizza, there's absolutely no contest, and this place completely blows them away. But if I'm comparing Mustafa to my FAVORITE pizza places, it would be in the second-tier of "fall back joints", that I would visit only if the places I like best were unavailable.
My impression was also that the serving-size-to-price ratio was a little bit high based on a typical pizza joint, as the unique football shape fold reduces the overall surface area and therefore quantity of toppings when compared to a round Pizza, but despite these minor quibbles, I actually enjoyed it, so 4 stars it is.
