| - I really tried to keep an open mind and tried Francos as I like to support local businesses. I had avoided as I couldn't tell if they were open half the time, but turns out they were remodeling into a pizza + burger + hot dog place, but their website doesn't reflect same. The inside is nice in the seating area, but the counter is cluttered and in need of removing most of the clutter.
I had pepperoni and a sausage pizza. In my whole life I don't think i have ever tossed a slice of pizza. It happened. And I wasn't the only one. Buddies that shared pizza with me were of the same opinion.
The pros: The crust. Dough was airy on the ends but dense in the middle. and had the right amount of saltiness. The middle of the pizza was pretty soggy though, but that may have been due to the grease or the dough was overproofed. It could have used either a higher cooktemp or more cooktime. Unfortunately that's all I have.
****************************************
The cons: Grease. An exceptional amount of oil was used The sauce was greasy, the dough was greasy, the box was greasy. It was not a deep dish pizza, so not sure why so much grease. I've been to chain pizza places (pizza hut) where grease is common, but even this eclipsed the grease to food ratio. I don't get it. Now, I am no stranger to greasy food but even this was above my tolerance ratio.
The sauce: Bland, but had a very odd amount of seasoning in the middle of the pizza for some reason. Like someone was adding italian seasoning to the pizza and the lid came off and it dumped on the pizza. More is not better.
The cheese: Was a tad sparse and did not seem like it's of the moisture quality to be "stretchy". Cheese can be one of the costliest pizza toppings. Normally using skim/low moisture mozz isn't the best blend for pizza, but it is for shelf life. I don't know what was on there but it did not do the job.
The toppings: Pepperoni quantity was decent but really thin. the sausage...I spit it out. It might have been sausage that was cooked down and crumbled. If so, not my favorite. Bland, flavorless...i don't know what I was expecting but I did not like it. It was small crumbly pieces. I could not help but concentrate on the grease. Where does that much oil come from , if not added?
Overall, maybe I got a bad run of pizza, or the sauce was a bad batch. But, as reviews go, I calls em as I sees em. Not saying I will not try again, and reviews can and do change. One bad review does not sour me from a place, but this place literally left a bad taste in my mouth.
