Summary Review: 4 stars (out of 5)
Detailed Review:
Crust: The crust at Brattleboro House of Pizza has a crispy texture and pleasant fresh taste around the edge. Unfortunately, it is also too thin and droopy in the middle of the pizza. I prefer thicker crusts, and I've definitely had better crusts. Score: 6/10.Sauce: The sauce has a fresh tomatoey taste, and it appears in adequate quantity. What more could you want? Score: 10/10.
Cheese: The cheese is very greasy even though it appears in only average quantity. The flavor is unremarkable, and adding some parmesan or romano would help with the flavor. Score: 4/10.
Toppings: The sausage comes in nice, big, fresh chunks with nice pork flavor. The pepperoni has some pork flavor and just a little hint of spiciness. Both toppings appear in above average quantity. Score: 10/10.
Overall Taste: I could have really gotten behind this pizza if it had a thicker crust and more flavorful less greasy cheese. As is, the overall taste is pleasing but could be better. Score: 7.5/10.
Pizza Appearance: The crust and grease dominate the pizza's appearance, which is not the best.
Dining Atmosphere: Brattleboro House of Pizza has a large and somewhat dated dining room.
Customer Service: The service was quick and friendly.
Monetary Value: For decent quality pizza, the price is not crazy expensive for Vermont. The counter service saves on the tip.
The Final Judgment:
Brattleboro House of Pizza makes a solid pizza that is only a few steps away from being elite. That said, in Brattleboro, VT I like Brattleboro Village Pizza, which is located 2 exits further north on I-91, better than Brattleboro House of Pizza. Score: 81/100.
