What I Ordered: 4 Corners Pizza with pepperoni and sausage;
5 piece Bambino Bread
Price: $10.45
The Micro:
Crust: Papa Romano’s Pizza comes with the thick pan crust
typically associated with northern climates.
The crust is not as crispy as you might expect in terms of consistency. It’s not the best crust I have ever eaten,
but it does the job and does it well.
Score: 8/10.
Sauce: This pizza comes with lots of sauce, as you would
expect for a thick crust pizza. The
garlic flavor is too strong for my taste, and hence the score is not that
great. Score: 6/10.
Cheese: The cheese appears in good quantity and does not produce
too much grease. Score: 8/10.
Toppings: Both toppings appear in good quantity, but they
are lifeless in terms of flavor. Score:
5/10.
The Macro:
Appearance/Atmosphere/Service: The pizza looks like the hearty
robust pizza it is, while the Bambino Bread is akin to Little Caesar’s Crazy
Bread. The location I visited only
offered carryout, but the chairs in the waiting area were comfortable. The service was fine. Score: 8/10.
Value: This pizza is more expensive than it should be. Papa Romano’s offerings are a cross between Jet’s
and Little Caesars but more expensive than either one.
Score: 3/10.
Taste: The 4 Corners pizza impresses with pure heartiness
rather than finesse. I can’t say the
taste is anything impressive, but this pizza fills you up. Score: 13/20.
The Final Judgment:
Papa Romano’s is an odd cross between Jet’s and Little
Caesars. I would probably rather have Jet’s
pure heartiness or Little Caesars’ pure value than the combination offered up
here, which I find to be a rather average entry in the thick crust pizza category. I would sanction coming here but not over
other options. Score: 51/80.
