| - Better ingredients? Better pizza? You could have fooled me.
The good news is that I didn't have to pay for the pizza. It was brought in as part of a "party" at work. I always enjoy a free lunch.
For better ingredients, I beg to differ. I had the sausage & mushroom, which was servicable. The italian sausage was nondescript - it may have well not been on the pizza. That was disappointing. The mushrooms had a good flavor, and that saved it from being a total loss. The sauce and cheese were run-of-the-mill large-chain quality. Nothing to write home about. Thankfully the pizzas came with some garlic dipping sauce, which I used on the entire slice, not just the crust.
So, better pizza? Hardly. I went web surfing to see what these pies go for and almost fell over when I saw they charge $14 for a large sausage pie. Are you kidding me? A $5 Little Caesars deal is on the same plane of quality as these things. For less, I can get a safe Pizza Hut pie that I know I will be fine with. And, for the money, you can get a fantastic representation from a better establishment like Rosatti's or Picasso's.
Sorry Papa John. You may thing that repeatedly telling us "better ingredients, better pizza" will make us believe you. Heck, you can get Peyton Manning to tell us to. It might get someone to buy it once, but after that, we'll be on to you. I wouldn't pay for this out of my own pocket for half the price.
Two stars because it was "okay" and didn't make me ill...
