I was pretty excited to try out a new campus-adjacent pizza place. The other places in the area are good, but this one's location was great.
The good: the place is new, so it's squeaky clean. The dining area Is a bit sparse, but perfectly functional.
The pizza *flavor* isn't bad. That said:
The bad: the pizza itself is out of whack. I'm all about cracker crusts, but you can't dump a pound of oily mozzarella on super thin crusts. (I'm not against a fork & knife pizza, but this one is an unavoidable mess --not something you want to deal with on a quick lunch run.)
The prices are also "off." Just because your pizza *isnt* a dominos pizza, that doesn't give you carte blanche to charge twice as much. A 14" pizza for $13 isn't exorbitant, but when that $13 pizza "feels" cheaper than dominos, it makes you wonder where that money went. The same is true for the mozzarella sticks --$6 for four pinky-sized sticks? Come on. That's as much as half of a 14" pizza!
I really want to see the locally-operated restaurants in this area succeed, but unless this one makes some heavy-handed adjustments, I don't see it surviving the year.
