| - I have heard so many good things about the Roman Candle, so I finally decided to go outside my comfort zone and try a new pizza. I ordered the veggie animal lover supreme, and I wasn't really that impressed. While the service was fine and the delivery was fast, the pizza itself failed to deliver. It wasn't that bad, but it definitely was not good by any objective standard.
The sauce is interesting, and has a strong sweet flavor, but it really just didn't work for this particular pizza. I don't like the taste of sugar mixing with my veggies. However, the veggies themselves were nothing to brag about either. They were undercooked, leading to fried onions that weren't caramelized and all other kinds of soggy crap. This is due mostly to the fact that the vegetables had become saturated in the grease from the mozzarella cheese. Any idiot who makes pizzas for a living should have anticipated this happening when you're using fresh cheese. They could have thrown the veggies on halfway through cooking, and/or cooked them separately. Instead, they clearly cut corners, and I'm left with shit. They also put an obscene amount of basil leaf on the pizza, which fortunately was not as soggy because most of it burnt up into a flaky black powder. Who would have thought that a dry leaf can't withstand 30 minutes in a 400-degree oven, right?
The cheese was great, and it's such a shame that it had to come out the way it did. Aside from destroying every topping it touched, it wasn't melted enough. They're clearly using fresh mozzarella - the kind that comes in a ball floating in water/oil. But they don't know what to do with it. You can't just slap a bunch of that shit on a pizza crust and call it a night. It's disappointing because their pizzas could be so much better if they had a staff that actually knows how to make them.
Speaking of the crust...the crust just infuriated me. I love crust. I will eat leftover pizza crusts when I don't even know where they came from. It is no doubt the best part of the pizza. And yet on this pizza, I fucking threw them out. Unbelievable. Even dipping them in ranch couldn't save them. The crust - in fact, the entire dough part of the pizza - was dry, burnt, floppy, and tasteless. It was too thin to support the pizza and had the consistency of a shredded tire. Yeah, their dough may be home-made. But home-made doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to make it in the first place.
My girl hates pizza, and the one time we actually agree to order a pizza, I get this unacceptably bad pizza. Thanks, Roman Candle, now I won't be eating another pizza for a long time. I suppose it's my fault for thinking I should try something different from Glass Nickel for a change.
