| - Ya know what? It's good. I can honestly say that Pizza Pan delivers on a solid pie. Honestly, though, when it comes to pizza it's really hard to find one that I won't put into my nutrient portal. The main reason we gave these guys a shot was because we got one of those "welcome to the neighborhood" free pizza coupons. How can you beat a free, one-topping pizza? OK, maybe if it was delivery. But listen, I wasn't disappointed, I wasn't delighted, I was satisfied. Pizza itch scratched.
Some of the good. The crust was a nice, mid-level thickness with a crispy outside and slightly doughy interior. Just what you'd like in a crust. I prefer the edge to have a bit more to grab onto, but all in all, not a bad showing. The sauce was also tasty. A tomato-based, traditional marinara with some decent fresh tomato flavor. It was a bit on the sweet side for me, though, but this is personal preference, not a knock. The customer service at the counter was top-notch. At least that what my wife tells me. I sat in the car when she ran inside. Friendly, welcoming and customer-oriented.
So let's nitpick. Toppings people. Seriously. The pepperoni was fine, about two slices per piece, not a bad ratio, but the mushrooms and the banana peppers? It was like playing Where's Waldo with these things. And they claim their pizzas are the "healthier choice". I have a feeling it's because they skimp on toppings. And what's wrong with using fresh mushrooms? A simple thing like fresh toppings really goes a long way, folks.
The sauce. Again, where the hell was it? It's a good thing we got an extra little container of sauce with our cheese bread (which was really good, btw) because the actual pizza itself was just a bit dry. The cheese was good but lacked the char that I like. The cheese bread had a nice char, so they got it right there. The salad? Well, it's exactly what you'd expect from a pizza joint salad - iceberg lettuce, olives, tomatoes, croutons, shredded provolone cheese, pepperoni. Expectations met.
There's a schtick here that's worth mentioning. If you buy a pizza or some ribs you get one free. That's right. It's BOGO all the time here. We weren't sure we'd like it so we opted not to take the freebie this time. Bigger parties will definitely like this.
So, great pizza? Not so much. It's good, pretty good really. Friendly service, even on the phone, and a very low price point as far as pizzas go. So I guess for the money, I can't complain. Just skimpy on the toppings. I've gotta give 'em credit though, way to spin the whole minimalist toppings thing into a healthy thing. I mean, the pizzas cost them less to make, people think they're eating healthy(er). It's a win/win, right?
