A Taste of Italy

SCORE CARD

Sauce: 2

Comments: Giving this sauce a 2 is the most generous thing I have ever done and I'm a pretty generous guy. It was very obviously canned, and I'm pretty sure it was tomato PASTE, not sauce. You can tell they tried adding salt to it to make it their own, but didn't put in the effort to stir it, so I kept getting mouthfuls of salt when I did get any sauce. I think they could have made a more effective sauce by throwing tomatoes at the wall and serving the aftermath.

Cheese: 2

Comments: This was not cheese, it was an entity. This was not pizza. It was triangular cut cheese. When you take a single bite of this pizza, the entire cheese blanket comes with it. The spatula wasn't even able to cut through the cheese. I should not have to work this hard to eat.

Dough: 2

Comments: I fought between giving this a 1 or a 2, but because I'm such a nice guy, I went with two. The dough was mush. You could hold the pizza by the crust, but the rest would dangle straight down. My hands were legitimately wet from having toughed the bottom of my slice of pizza and I'm not asking why. It tasted like cardboard and felt like a wet noodle.

Service: 2

Comments: We had to seat ourselves. We stood around waiting for someone to seat us, until a bar tender told us to seat ourselves. Okay, so we took a booth. We ordered our drinks and they came pretty quickly. Then we ordered an appetizer, which came out fast, as well. That's when it ended. It took us ONE HOUR to get a pizza. I could have gone home, made a pizza, an brought it back to our booth, before they served us our food. There was ONE waitress. UNO. UN. ONE. Not two, one. During dinner. When I looked around to see what was taking so long, I noticed the cook playing on his phone. I hope he won angry birds, because he was about to reach the boss level with angry customers. We waited about 20 minutes to get our check, and as soon as the credit card hit the bill, she was right there to offer quick service. Awesome, do that with pizza in your hand next time.

Decor: 5

Comments: It was tastefully done for the most part. They had a nice mix of orange and yellow walls to accent one another, arched walk ways, nice paintings, and cast iron accents on the wall. All of the chairs, tables, and booths matched, but you share the back of your booth with the person in the booth behind you, so when someone is drunk and can't hold themselves up, you get pushed forward into your table. They also have random toddler sized Greek statues.....I'm pretty sure one of them winked at me. 

Overall: 3

Comments: This blew.

Note: This was a pizza shame.
