| - What can be said? It's takeout pizza, and it is the best around.
Okay, a little more can be said. Takeout pizza is a multi-dimensional business. There are places that do a thing called pizza which is so experimental and amazing that you want to put it in a shadow box and show it to your guests for years to come. That's fine. That's a way to go.
There are also places that hew so carefully to tradition, to what pizza *ought* to be, that their ovens have been certified by the appropriate Milanese guilds as legit. If anything can lay claim to being "pizza," they are, no doubt, it.
Pizza depot is neither of these. Pizza depot is "you have friends over, you don't want to cook, you don't actually want to think much about the food at all, you just want it to be easy" pizza. Recognize that pizza? Yeah, it lacks pretense, and maybe authenticity, but it's often what you want. And on that front, pizza depot is the best. Good crust, not over-doughy, not burnt, actually flavourful. Great sauce, fresh toppings, and despite being a franchise op, the owners of this one are quite keen to find improvements, often experimenting with little touches like olive oil on the crust.
It's what it says on the label, folks, and in literally hundreds of orders, it has never failed us. This is what takeout pizza is supposed to be.
Pro-tip - if you like spicy, ask for their in-house spicy dipping sauce. They have the crappy mass-produced garlic/ranch/whatever dips that everyone has, but they also have their own in-house thing that will light a fire in your face.
