Summary Review: 4.5 stars (out of 5)
Detailed Review:
Sauce: This pizza has lots of sauce. The sauce had a nice tomatoey taste at first, but a bitter flavor grew on my taste palette the more I ate. I would like this sauce more without the bitter end. Score: 8/10
Cheese: This pizza has a thick layer of cheese baked right on the crust, which is where it should be for a deep dish pizza. I like it. Score: 10/10
Toppings: The sausage comes in nice big chunks and has a mildly spiced pork flavor. The pepperoni is unremarkable. Both toppings appear in abundant quantity. Score: 9/10
Overall Taste: The big gobs of sauce dominate the taste, and therefore this pizza has more of a bitter taste than I prefer. Score: 7.5/10
Monetary Value: While the price is expensive, it is not the most expensive pizza of this type I have ever had. Thus, the value is about average.
