The Facts:
Pizza: R&B’s Pizza Place
Business Category: Locally-owned
Location: 107 Smithfield St.
in downtown Pittsburgh
Date of Review Visit: July 11, 2017
What I Ordered: slice of sausage pizza; French fries; Pepsi
fountain drink
(lunch combo #1)
Price: $6.06
The Micro:
Crust: R&B’s Pizza Place
makes pizza with the thick northern-style crust. The crust has a nice crispy texture, but nothing
else really offends or stands out about this crust. Score: 6/10.
Sauce: This pizza is quite undersauced, and what sauce there
is has little flavor. Score: 3/10.
Cheese: R&B Pizza has a nice base cheese, but they also
add an extra layer of mozzarella on top of the base. Thus, the cheese is the strength of this pizza.
Score: 9/10.
Toppings: The sausage appears in decent quantity, but the
ground up sausage has very little flavor.
Score: 5/10.
The Macro:
Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: The extra mozzarella gives
this pizza a white appearance. The cramped
dining area is typical for a downtown pizza place. The service is counter service and was fine
on my visit. Score: 9/10.
Value: This pizza’s quality leaves somewhat to be
desired. However, the price is cheap, as
R&B Pizza offers some of the least expensive pizza in downtown Pittsburgh . Therefore, this is the place to come for
value. Score: 9/10.
Taste: French fries and pizza is an odd combination, and the
crispy French fries may have tasted as good as the pizza. I never thought I would write that in a pizza
blog. Score: 12/20.
The Final Judgment:
The two pizza places I visited in downtown Pittsburgh
arrived at nearly the same final score but by very different avenues. Pizza Parma has slightly better quality, but R&B’s Pizza
Place offers slightly better value. Score: 53/80.
