| - A little better than average, which isn't bad.
Figured I'd give Monte Cello's a try since we are getting tired of our go to pizza spots. Some people had recommended it and it meets my qualification of family owned and local.
*Warning* The review is limited to take out and pizza, we do plan on going back and having different grub off the menu, so I will update when we do.
The person answering the phone for take out was friendly and estimated the pick up time at 20 minutes. I hate places that say 10 and it turns out to be 30 or visa versa.
The prices are reasonable, but not as cheap as some competitors, because of this their stuff should be better, but it isn't. The pizza was well cooked, the crust is good. A little bit of crunch yet it still had that chewy texture on the inside. The sauce was the part I wasn't too keen on. It was smooth, but a little too acidic and runny. They didn't load up on the sauce however so it didn't bother me too much. The toppings also were a little weak. We ordered the Margherita pizza, a favorite of mine and something I always order if it's offered. The menu pictures and the actual pizza look nothing alike. The basil on the pizza was tiny and didn't have that fresh taste you'd expect. The cheese was good, but was mostly mozzarella taste and again did not taste like good mozzarella. They claim to put asiago on it as well, but I didn't taste it. Onto the garlic bread sticks. They were too crunchy and tasted like a giant crouton, not impressed.
An average pizza Margherita and not very good bread sticks.
