Detailed Review:

Crust: Cutter's Pizzeria offers several pizza/crust options.  Because I was by myself and had no way to store leftovers, I chose the handtossed, which is the only option the menu lists with a small size.  The handtossed crust has a fantastic chewy texture.  It is thick on the outside but not thick enough on the inside to support all of the toppings.  I'm not really a fan of handtossed crusts, but I liked this crust more than I thought I would.  Score: 9/10.

Sauce: This pizza is somewhat undersauced, and the sauce that does exist has little tomatoey flavor.  Score: 4/10.

Cheese: This pizza has plenty of cheese, but it produces a decent bit of grease.  Score: 8/10.

Toppings: This pizza has plenty of toppings, but none of them carry a lot of flavor.  The sausage is only spicy, and the pepperoni is unremarkable.  My favorite of the three meat toppings is the ham, which appears in large lean slices.  Score: 8/10.

Overall Taste: Except for some spiciness in the sauce and sausage, nothing really excites the tastebuds here.  Score: 7/10.

Pizza Appearance: My pizza had an evenly cut topping-dominated appearance, as you would expect for a meat lover pizza.

Dining Atmosphere: Their Oxford location offers a rather plain dining experience with only some TV's for decor or entertainment.

Customer Service: The service was poor: the servers seemed more interested in talking to their friends than serving customers.

Monetary Value: The quality is not great, but the price is fairly low.  Therefore, the value is not bad.

The Final Judgment:

Cutter's makes a passable if not excellent pizza.  I would like to try some of their other crust options.  At this price point, it belongs as part of your pizza rotation, but it probably won't make the top of your pizza list.  Score: 75/100.
