I would have given this place four or five stars before. The first two times we ordered food from this place, everything was fantastic. So last night we ordered from Pizza Flora that third time, the proverbial charm, the one that would have cemented it as a great neighborhood pizzeria.
The first time I ordered the Parmesan Garlic Wings they were crisp and delicious. Last night they came sitting in a container with 1/2 inch of grease pooled in the bottom of it which had oozed out over everything else in the bag. Yuck. Slimy, oily and lukewarm with flabby skin. Whoever was responsible has no idea how to cook and serve bone-in, skin-on chicken.
The first time I ordered the Garlic knots they were absolutely delicious; so good, in fact that the next time we got a double-order. Yesterday night they weren't fully baked all the way through so the middles were doughy and inedible. Luckily we only got a single order this time.
The last two times we got pizza delivered it was really good. Last night the toppings were still nice, but the crust was limp and soggy. I like my pizza with a thin crust that is crisp on the bottom and has some bite to it. This had the texture of wet Wonderbread.
We did reheat the pizza which improved the crust immensely, and likewise the garlic knots got better after we reheated (aka cooked) them too, but seriously: I ordered from a restaurant to have someone else prepare my meal. I didn't really want to turn on my oven and bake my own food in 30-degree humid weather, nor should I have had to.
It's a shame really, because this place seemed very promising less than a month ago.
