What I Ordered: medium (12”) pizza with pepperoni and
sausage; 2 cans of Dr. Pepper to drink
Price: $14.58 (includes tax and drinks)
The Micro:
Crust: The crust at Star Pizzeria has medium thickness. It has an appealing crispy texture on the outside,
but it is soggy and droopy underneath the toppings. My pizza was perfectly baked, and that might
be the best thing I can say about this crust.
Score: 4/10.
Sauce: The sauce appears in sufficient quantity, but it does
not have a lot of flavor. Score: 5/10.
Cheese: The cheese appears in excellent quantity, and it
also does not produce a lot of grease. The
cheese is the strength of this pizza. Score:
10/10.
Toppings: Both toppings appear in high quantity but horrible
quality. The sausage is the putrid
pellet variety. The pepperoni comes in thin
slices with little flavor. These are
some of the worst toppings I have tasted recently. Score: 2/10.
The Macro:
Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: The pellet sausage is distracting
to the appearance, which is otherwise fine.
Star Pizzeria’s small dining room is functional but no more. My pizza took 30 minutes to make even though
they were not busy, and the man at the counter was not exactly the friendliest
person in Texas. Score: 6/10.
Value: When you factor in the two Dr. Peppers and the 12”
size, the price is reasonable for this kind of pizza, but it is not great value
due to the poor quality. Score: 5/10.
Taste: The cheese is the tastiest part of this pizza, which
says a lot about everything else. Score:
12/20.
The Final Judgment:
In my view of the pizza galaxy, Star does not shine brightly. Score: 44/80.
