| - I hate to be a Negative Nancy but after all the positive reviews, I can't keep my opinion to myself. I wouldn't even call this pizza "good". I originally planned on using Domino's for my daughter's birthday party, but they've gone too far downhill. We ordered from Joey's instead -- 4 pies and an order of garlic balls.
The crust was tough, not at all crispy, and somewhat hard to bite into. I've had worse, but I do expect some kind of crispness. On the good side, it didn't have that burnt flavor like so many of the other pizza shops in town.
Sauce had a good taste - somewhat sweet and not overloaded with spices.
The sausage was foul. It was spoiled or freezerburnt or something along those lines. All other toppings were tasty on their own, but there weren't a lot of them on the pizza. Our bacon pizza had about 2 pieces of bacon per slice. On the pizza with three different toppings, you couldn't get all three of those toppings in one bite. It kinda defeats the purpose of getting a pizza with multiple toppings on it.
Cheese was minimal.
We ordered the garlic balls thinking they would be similar to garlic knots. They aren't anything like knots. They tasted like pizza rolls but without the filling. Not too bad, but they don't come with sauce, and they turned rubbery before the meal was over. If there was a sauce, and if they didn't turn rubbery, they would've been a nice unique treat. Kinda like fancy popcorn.
I had my spouse order and pick up the food. He was charged 20% more than the menu prices (afternoon, carryout). Tax is only 8.x%. He wasn't given an itemized receipt so I don't know why there was such a price difference.
I'm perfectly capable of making pizza or reheating one from the store. The reason we order from a pizza place is to get pizza that tastes different (better) from the at-home options. When the pizza doesn't taste better than at-home, it feels like a total waste. All in all, I could've made a better pizza with a store brand Boboli crust. Even the $1.25 frozen party pizzas would've tasted a lot better.
I should've known better than to try something new (for us) for a birthday party.
