The Skinny: custom built 12 inch pizza, unlimited toppings for $7.99 with some flavorful toppings (Love the grilled zucchini) - vegan and gluten free crust available for extra charge(3.5) service is good with counter service (3) value: not bad for a custom built pizza joint (3.5).
With all the custom built with unlimited toppings popping up here in the valley, Pizza Kitchen is a welcome addition.
I liked their toppings of house cheese blend, grilled zucchini (loved this), arugula, fresh basil, sun-dried tomatoes and meatballs. The ham, sausage and ricotta didn't quite do it for me though. Their red sauce had a nice acidity to it which I enjoyed.
FYI - For those that like spice, they do have Sriracha flavored meats (ie, chicken and I think sausage? ) which do not have at the other custom built places.
The whole wheat crust was quite nice - more doughy than the usual thinner cracker crust. Loved how the edges are hand pulled at the end to give it a nicer crust.
The pizza is baked on a conveyor belt vs. wood-fired. The benefit is you get a more consistent crust. But the down side is you miss the smokiness of a wood-fired product.
I also noticed that they now offer custom build salads for $7.99 now which I think I try next time I drop by.
This place does a pretty good custom built pizza and does offer some toppings that others do not have. The crust is different enough to distinguish it from its competitors. Staff is friendly and helpful. Overall, a pretty good pizza for the price. 3.5 star review.
