Date of Review Visit: December 19, 2018
What I Ordered: Personal pizza (10”) with pepperoni and
sausage; Dr. Pepper to drink
Price: $12.40 (includes drink and tax but not tip)
The Micro:
Crust: OPS bills its pizza as a New York style thin crust
pizza, but while the crust is indeed thin the pizza looks and tastes more like a
wood-fired pizza. The thin crust has a
nice crispy texture. Only a lack of
flavor leads to a minor deduction.
Score: 9/10.
Sauce: This pizza has almost no sauce, which is typical for
a New York style pizza. What little
sauce it does have tastes slightly spicy almost like salsa. This is not my favorite style of sauce. Score: 2/10.
Cheese: The cheese appears in high quantity and does not produce
much grease. The 100% mozzarella cheese
“blend” also does not have much flavor.
Even sprinkling on some parmesan helps only a little. Score: 7/10.
Toppings: Both toppings appear in decent quantity, but
that’s where the good news ends. The sausage
is slightly spicy but comes in flavorless tiny ground chunks. The pepperoni comes in thin slices and is also
fairly flavorless. Score: 6/10.
The Macro:
Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: The pizza has a solid appearance
with an even cut. The dining atmosphere
resembles a sports bar with lots of TV’s big and small tuned to sports
programming and 80’s rock music blaring through the speakers. The service was attentive and fine. Score: 9/10.
Value: The price is fairly expensive for a 10” pizza, and the
quality is not that great. Therefore,
the value is not that great. Score: 3/10.
Taste: The overall taste is rather lackluster, as nothing
really adds any distinct flavor. Score:
13/20.
The Final Judgment:
A decent regional pizza option but nothing more, OPS is OK
in my book (but only OK). Score: 49/80.
