Detailed Review:


Crust: The crust at Electric City Pizza has fairly high thickness, but the texture is on the hard side.  It does have somewhat of a bready taste.  This crust isn't bad, but I've had better.  Score: 7/10

Sauce: The sauce has a thick texture and a strong tomatoey taste.  This is a robust sauce, and I like it. Score: 10/10

Cheese: This pizza has plenty of cheese, and the parmesan cheese adds some flavor.  It does not produce too much grease.  Score: 9/10

Toppings: The pepperoni is unremarkable.  The sausage comes in medium-sized chunks that have some spiciness but not much pork flavor.  Both toppings appear in high quantity.  Score: 8/10

Overall Taste: The spiciness of the sausage blends nicely with the tomato taste of the sauce to produce a pleasant and robust flavor.  It would be better with some additional flavors contributed to the overall taste.  Score: 8.5/10

Pizza Appearance: The sausage dominates the appearance, so maybe it has too much sausage and not enough pepperoni.  Then again, the sausage is better than the pepperoni.

Dining Atmosphere: Electric City Pizza has a nice casual dining area with 80's rock music blaring through speakers and TVs with sports programming.

Customer Service: The service was friendly and attentive, but my pizza took a long time to make even though they weren't that busy when I came here.

Monetary Value: The price is fairly low, but the quality is fairly high.  Therefore, the value is fairly high.

The Final Judgment:

Electric City Pizza occupies the building that used to house Mellow Mushroom.  While I like Mellow Mushroom a little more, this pizza is a worthy substitute and a nice addition to the Anderson pizza scene.  Score: 88/100
