Summary Review: 4 stars (out of 5)


Detailed Review:

Crust: The crust on Hambone's Pizza has a nice and crispy but fluffy texture.  It has medium thickness but no independent flavor.  This crust does the job, but I have had better.  Score: 7/10.

Sauce: This pizza does not have a lot of sauce, but what sauce does appear has a nice tomatoey taste with only a mild amount of spiciness.  Score: 8/10.

Cheese: The cheese appears in adequate quantity and produces very little grease.  Like the crust, the cheese also has little flavor.  Score: 8/10.

Toppings: The sausage comes in small chunks and has just the right amount of spiciness.  The pepperoni is unremarkable.  Both toppings appear in high quantity.  Score: 8/10.

Overall Taste: The sausage and sauce combine to give an overall taste that is slightly on the overspiced side.  Also, I would have preferred meatier sausage.  Score: 7/10.

Pizza Appearance: The large amount of sausage dominates the appearance.

Dining Atmosphere: The dining room is just a couple of tables with stool-like backless chairs.  This arrangement is very uncomfortable for people like me who have back problems.

Customer Service:  The service was quick and friendly despite the fact that they were fairly busy.

Monetary Value: For quality pizza, the price is downright cheap. Therefore, the value is high, especially for a downtown location.


The Final Judgment:

Clearly the Hambone is connected to the pizza bone: they make a high quality pizza for a fantastic price.  If I lived in southeast Wyoming, I would come here often.  Score: 83/100.
