Round Table Pizza in Southern California

The Facts:

Pizza: Round Table Pizza
Business Category: Local Chain (8 locations, all in southern California)
Website: https://www.roundtablepizza.com/
Location: 2506 E. Chapman Ave. in Fullerton, CA (in College Plaza beside Subway)
Date of Review Visit: February 2024
What I Ordered: small (10") pizza with pepperoni and Italian sausage
Price: $16.25 (includes tax but not drink or tip)

The Micro:

Crust: The crust at Round Table Pizza is on thin side.  It has a nice crispy texture.  The pizza looks overbaked, but it's actually baked perfectly for this kind of pizza.  This is a great crust.  Score: 10/10.

Sauce: The sauce has a fresh tomatoey taste and comes in plenty of quantity.  Perfecto!  Score: 10/10.

Cheese: This pizza has plenty of cheese, which is a tasty blend of several kinds of cheese.  The cheese produces quite a bit of grease, which leads to a mandatory deduction.  Score: 8/10.

Toppings: The pepperoni appears in thin slices with just a little spice.  The Italian sausage appears in medium-sized chunks with just the right amount of spice.  Both toppings appear in high quantity.  Score: 10/10.

 

The Macro:

Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: Round Table Pizza has a well-balanced appearance dominated by the toppings.  They have a nice casual dining atmosphere with retro games such as skiball and Golden Tee Golf.  The service was quick and friendly on my visit; I was the only customer at the time.  Score: 10/10.

Value: Round Table Pizza is not cheap, but it has high quality.  Hence, the value is not as bad as you might expect.  Score: 4/10.

Taste: Everything comes together well to produce a fresh taste with a crispy crust, but the sauce is what really makes the taste.  Score: 18/20.

 

The Final Judgment:

Round Table Pizza calls themselves pizza royalty, and they are not far off.  For royally good pizza and a royally good time, Round Table Pizza deserves a spot in your pizza rotation, and it makes a great party destination.  Score: 70/80.
