2401 Colony Crossing Place
Midlothian, Virginia
SCORE CARD
Sauce: 7
Comments: It was pretty good as far as freshness goes, but I had a few issues with it. I'm a smooth sauce kind of guy, and this was a fresh cut chunky sauce. This is not to take away from the overall sauce score because that's personal preference. It had great, rich tomato flavor but could have used a little more seasoning. On that note, the sauce was spotty and didn't cover the pizza equally. It was either sauce soup or sauce MIA.
Cheese: 6.5
Comments: It was stringy to a point, but not as stringy as I wanted it to be. Instead of going down the back of the throat once it was in your mouth, it turned into a mutant cheese ball that my teeth had to attack before it could go down. That being said, it had great flavor and didn't taste like anything I could buy out of a bag.

Dough: 5
Comments: It had a good crunch but was a little too thin in the middle and too thick towards the crust. The further I got into the pizza, the less pizza I got. Which would probably explain my sauce perplextions.
Service: 2
Comments: Dude was weird. Dude was very weird. I'll leave it at that. He was only there to take orders and give the check, not to enhance your experience. It took longer to get our drinks than it did to get the pizza. And in the mean time, the cooks in the exposed kitchen were staring at everyone.... awkward.

Decor: 7
Comments: The building was a lot nicer than we're used to with pizza places, which was refreshing. There was STILL wood paneling and that mustard yellow paint on the walls, but the pictures were all the same size, the booths were more modern, and the tables and chairs fit the overall theme. There weren't any tacky decorations hanging from the crown molding, or stacks of "antique" canned or bottled vegetables sitting around. I do have to question the wine themes wall paper border along the ceiling and the fan with the leaf blades, but otherwise, it will tastefully done.

I should mention that the kitchen is completely exposed. You can see all of the cooks and what they're doing, which is great for integrity, but awkward when they're not doing anything and you catch them looking your way while chatting their their buddies. They also had heat lamps on the "bar" in front of the kitchen. I assume it's because they do take-out and want to keep the food warm until the guest picks it up, but still, red heat lamps?
Overall: 5.5
Comments: The food was good and the pizza was enjoyable, but the service was less than average. Not to mention we must have gone at half past weirdo, because everyone eating there at the time was some kind of off. I think with a different hostess, waiter, and if the cook staff was busier, that the score would be considerably higher. I would have no problem going back for more.
