What I Ordered: 10” thick crust pizza with pepperoni and
sausage
Price: $11.47 (includes tax but not drink or tip)
Summary Review: 3.5 stars (out of 5)
Detailed Review:
Crust: Gerry’s Pizza offers thick and thin crust options. As will come as no surprise to any regular reader of this blog, I chose thick. Unlike many thick crust pizzas, this crust is thick under the entire pizza, not just around the edges. The crust has a lot of body, but it is a little too crispy and bulky in places. Score: 8/10.
Sauce: This pizza has plenty of sauce, but the sauce has a strong garlic taste that overpowers any tomato taste and pretty much every other taste on this pizza. I’m not a fan of garlic, and therefore I am not a fan of this sauce. Score: 4/10.
Cheese: The cheese appears in excellent quantity, and it is a stringy mozzarella that does not leave a lot of grease. I like it. Score: 10/10.
Toppings: The sausage and pepperoni both appear in high quantity, but neither one has a lot of independent flavor. Score: 7/10.
Overall Taste: The taste of garlic really overpowers everything else. That’s too bad because there are some other good things going on here. Score: 7/10.
Pizza Appearance: The pizza looks like a nice thick crust pizza with the odd but not unheard-of square cut pattern.
Dining Atmosphere: I ordered carry-out, but Gerry’s has a large dining area with a single TV tuned to game shows on my visit.
Customer Service: The service was friendly and fine.
Monetary Value: The price is fairly high considering all I ordered
was a 10” pizza with no drink. Better
value can be found elsewhere.
The Final Judgment:
Gerry’s is not the best pizza in Chicagoland, but it’s not
bad. I prefer Lou Malnati’s or Uno’s
to Gerry’s. Score: 77/100.
