| - I normally *want* to help the little guy, the local Mom & Pop places that supposedly put out the best food (especially, for some reason, pizza). But I have to give this place a pass.
I ordered an Italian sausage and mushroom pie from these guys not too long after they opened.... and it was a big disappointment. The crust was not too bad: nice and chewy, but could have been cooked a few minutes longer. It's the toppings that were a complete trainwreck. The Italian sausage were the same nasty, commercial "pellets" you'd get on a Little Caesar's pizza, and the sauce tasted like it came straight from a can. They were a bit too light on the cheese, too. But the worst thing was that the pizza wasn't cooked enough, and the toppings wanted to slide off the slices! When I tried pulling my first slice off the pie, I got a piece of bread with tomato sauce and a pile of toppings in the box! After carefully removing the second slice, I went to eat it and all the toppings slid off and landed on my plate!
Domino's and Pizza Hut might make mediocre pies, but they have it down to a science and both charge reasonable money for their products.I'd LOVE IT if Joe's was a success. But why should I pay $14+ for a disappointing pie when I can get something demonstrably better from Pizza Hut for $10?
