What I Ordered: small (10”) Boo Boo Bomber pizza (i.e.
pepperoni pizza)
Price: $11.06 (includes tax)
The Micro:
Crust: Big Daddy’s crust has the not-too-thick not-too-thin
style that can be rather unappetizing, but it comes across pretty well on this
pizza. Some flour baked into the crust
provides nice texture. This crust is not
fantastic, but it is not horrible either.
Score: 7/10.
Sauce: I could barely taste the sauce, and not because it
doesn’t exist. In fact, the quantity is
slightly above average. The sauce just
doesn’t have much flavor. I also found
small chunks of tomato in the sauce, a personal pet peeve of mine: I don’t want
to find chunks of anything in my sauce. I
have had far better pizza sauces than this one.
Score: 4/10.
Cheese: The cheese comes in a thick yummy layer. The 100% mozzarella blend does not have the
most flavorful taste, but the excellent quantity makes the cheese the strength
of this pizza. Score: 9/10.
Toppings: The pepperoni appears in average quantity. I could taste the spices in the pepperoni,
but they are not overwhelming. For only
a one-topping pizza, the toppings are decent overall. Score: 6/10.
The Macro:
Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: The pepperoni was not evenly
applied, so the pizza looked a little bare.
Big Daddy’s offers a casual family-oriented dining atmosphere with a
nice video game arcade for the young and young-at-heart. The service was fine. Score: 7/10.
Value: The quality is slightly above average and the price is
slightly above average, so the price/quality value ratio grades out about
average. Score: 5/10.
Taste: The cheese really saves what is otherwise a fairly
dull-tasting pizza. Nothing about this
pizza really offends the taste buds but nothing really impresses them either. Score: 15/20.
The Final Judgment:
Big Daddy’s Pizzeria makes a just slightly different than
average pizza. It is worth coming here
occasionally for a change of pace, but there are better pizzas around. Score: 53/80.
