| - We have ordered from Sophies on a few occasions, typically because it is close and because the men in our family like the heavy-meaty-greasiness of their typical pizza. The women, though, protest and we order from Sophies less and less.
They used to accomodate my request to put the toppings (of my vegetarian pizza) on top of the cheese (instead of on the bottom, which for some bizarre reason so may pizza joints like to do). Last time, the man taking the order wouldn't do it..."Too much time". I am not sure what that means, but as far as I can tell there should be no great difference and the rudeness was uncalled for. If it was my business I would want to keep a customer. Toppings on the bottom (or bottomings) are ok with meat, but most vegetable toppings like spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, etc. leach out liquid when they cook, leaving a soggy mess of the crust, while they cook beautifully on top. Needless to say, if you are a veggie lover, the crust gets slimy and the cheese just slips off the top. Just gross.
So, if you are a fan of the deep dish, more-about-the-crust, rock-in-you-gut style pizza, go ahead. If you prefer a thinner, crispy crust with exceptional toppings proudly displayed on top...bypass this place.
