My takeout pizza order didn't live up to the hype. I was excited to ordera large Clevelander pizza, but disappointed, sort of, with the taste of it. The Clevelander is described as a "New York thin crust, pizza cheese, extra pepperoni, sprinkle of garlic and fresh basil all ripped Chicago style with pizza sauce and Parmesan cheese." The crust: less than 1/4 inch thick but no hole structure when you get to the edge. The bottom 1/32 of the crust was not charred like New York style is supposed to, but the next 3/32 -inch was made up of a chewy bread like a classic NY style pizza. The edge of the crust was chewy and buttery, far from being crisp and charred like a classic NY style pizza. The sprinkle of garlic was more like a few extra sprinkles (if you love garlic you'll love the extra garlic they add) and I didn't even know the pizza had basil in it until I copied the pizza description for this review. The pepperoni was above average and the sauce was also above average but not something to write home about like Guiseppe's pizza sauce.
Overall it was an okay pizza. I was expecting something much better given the reviews and the accolades.
