What I Ordered: 1 slice of pizza with Italian sausage and
pepperoni; Dr. Pepper to drink
Price: $5.50
The Micro:
Crust: The crust at Peppino’s Pizza comes in the very thin New
York style with only a narrow thick area around the edges. I couldn’t taste (or hardly even find) the
crust under the pizza, but the crust around the edge had a decent well-baked
bready taste. Score: 6/10.
Sauce: This is an odd situation. The pizza is very undersauced, but what sauce
there is has a nice tomatoey taste. Unfortunately,
the sauce is probably the strength of this pizza. Score: 8/10.
Cheese: The cheese appears in average quantity, but it produces
a lot of grease. Sprinkling on some
parmesan slightly improves what is a rather bland taste. Overall, this cheese is pretty bad. Score: 3/10.
Toppings: Both toppings appear in good quantity. The pepperoni slices are very thin; they have
a little spice but no real flavor. The
sausage is tastier than the pepperoni, and it appears to be freshly
sliced. Score: 7/10.
The Macro:
Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: Peppino’s Pizza looks like
the cheaply made college town pizza that it is.
The dining room has a nice casual atmosphere with booths and TV’s. The restaurant has counter service, and the
service worked fine on my visit. Score:
7/10.
Value: For only 1 slice of medium-quality pizza, the price
is actually fairly high. Thus, there is
no real value to be found here at all. Score:
3/10.
Taste: The super thin crust ensures that this pizza has
little substance, and the bad cheese really hurts the overall taste. There are worse-tasting pizzas around, but
this one is far from the best. Score: 13/20.
The Final Judgment:
For a quick single slice snack, Peppino’s Pizza is passable,
but there are far better pizza options in Athens . Score: 46/80.
