| - I can't. I just cannot. Give more stars, that is. So, here is the update.
I was thinking the other day, it would be nice to give Ginos another try, maybe they've worked out the kinks. I decided not to, simply because I didn't want to have to pay for parking.
This morning, I'm at Safeway. Yes, the grocery store. Walking by the frozen pizza case, I could not help but notice, frozen Gino's Pizza. It was only $9. I thought, what the heck, I"ll give it a try - at least I will know it's cooked properly when I do it myself. So I grabbed it. And a bag of organic shredded Italian mix cheese. Brought the pie home and cooked it for the recommended 50 minutes. It didn't look quite done, so I added some of the shredded cheese, a sprinkling of red pepper flakes and popped it back in for ten minutes.
The pie came out looking delicious. I let it sit for five minutes, then cut into it. As you can see from the picture, the cheese behaved like the server hoped it would the first time I ate in the restaurant.
This frozen pie was delicious. The crust was perfectly crunchy, and the filling was hot and flavorful, with the little bit of added cheese, it was cheesy, tomato-ey goodness. Heck I would buy this pie again. From the freezer though, as it was less than half the price of what you can get at the actual restaurant. Even better, Safeway does not have Valet and they do have a wing bar.
I'm sold. On the frozen pie that is. Don't think I"ll be going back to the restaurant. At least not the one in Phoenix.
