Summary Review: 3.5 stars (out of 5)
Detailed Review:
Crust: Bertolo’s Pizza features the nice thick crust that I like. The crust has a fresh bready taste, and some cheese spilled over onto the crust adds to the flavor. I like this crust. Score: 10/10.
Sauce: The sauce comes in high quantity. The sauce has a nice tomatoey taste and is not overspiced. I found bits of onions in my sauce, and I don’t like finding bits of anything in my sauce. Score: 8/10.
Cheese: The cheese comes in decent quantity and does not produce a lot of grease. The cheese has very little flavor. It is adequate but not much more. Score: 6/10.
Toppings: The ground up sausage comes in decent quantity, but it has no real flavor. This is not some of the better sausage I have had recently. Score: 4/10.
Overall Taste: Thanks to the blandness of the sausage, the overall taste is fairly underwhelming. The crust and sauce save a disaster. Score: 7/10.
Pizza Appearance: The thick cheese-splattered crust and dark well-baked color dominate the appearance.
Dining Atmosphere: The dining atmosphere is purely functional with some water stains in the ceiling tiles.
Customer Service: The service is counter service, and it was fine on my visit.
Monetary Value: The price is higher than usual for me, but I was not
alone like usual: I came here with my friend and Pastor Dave Rickerd. Once adjusted, slightly above average quality
plus average price equals slightly above average value.
The Final Judgment:
Bertolo’s is not my favorite pizza in Greenville, but it is
a solid if unremarkable pizza option. It
deserves a spot in your pizza rotation, if maybe not a special one. Score: 75/100.
