What I Ordered: small (10") pizza with pepperoni and Italian sausage, fountain drink
Price: $17.78 (includes drink and tax but not tip)
The Micro:
Crust: The crust at Next Door Pizza is fairly thin but super hard, more hard than crispy. My pizza seemed slightly overbaked. The crust had too hard of a texture for my liking, so I can't rate this crust too high. Score: 6/10.
Sauce: Next Door has several sauces to choose from, but I chose the traditional red sauce. The pizza does not have a lot of sauce, but the sauce has a fresh tomatoey flavor. Score: 8/10.
Cheese: This pizza has a nice blend of cheese that includes mozzarella, provolone, and a couple of others. A mandatory deduction for too much grease applies. Score: 8/10.
Toppings: The toppings are large slices of pepperoni and smaller pieces of crumbled up sausage. Both toppings have nice pork flavor with just a little spiciness. The toppings appear in above average quantity. Score: 10/10.
The Macro:
Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: This pizza has a nice well-balanced appearance. The dining room has a bar, a few TVs, but no chairs! All seating is bench seating with no backs, which is very hard on people with back problems such as myself. The service was quick and friendly. Score: 7/10.
Value: Next Door is on the expensive side, but the quality is high. Therefore, the value is not that bad. Score: 6/10.
Taste: The overall taste is rather flavorful, but the grease and the crust keep this score lower than it really should be. Score: 16/20.
The Final Judgment:
Next Door makes a pizza that is a better crust, some grease, and some better chairs away from being elite. Whether it is next door to your house or not, it is worth coming here at least on occasion for some pretty good pizza. Score: 61/80.
