Detailed Review:

Crust: The crust at 516 Pizza Pub is not a pan crust, but it is a thick crispy crust.  My pizza seemed slightly overbaked, and therefore the crust seemed slightly burnt.  This crust is not bad, but I've had better.  Score: 7/10

Sauce: This pizza has lots of sauce.  The sauce has a rich tomatoey taste, but it is also slightly overspiced.  Score: 8/10

Cheese: This pizza features a thick layer of yummy cheese.  The cheese does produce a decent amount of grease, so a mandatory deduction applies.  Score: 9/10

Toppings: The toppings get lost in the cheese and sauce, but this pizza still has plenty of toppings.  The pepperoni comes several slices thick and has great flavor with just a bit of spiciness.  The sausage comes in nice large chunks with not as much flavor.  Score: 10/10

Overall Taste: except for the slightly burnt taste, everything comes together well.  The overall taste prioritizes quantity over quality, and this pizza is for hearty pizza eaters only.  Score: 8.5/10

Pizza Appearance: This pizza has a burnt appearance due to the overbaking.  Otherwise, it looks like the thick robust pizza it is.

Dining Atmosphere: I ordered to-go, but 516 Pizza Pub has a casual dining room with a full service bar in the center, a pool table near the front, and lots of TV's.  The overall atmosphere is an odd mix of bar and pizza restaurant.

Customer Service: They took my order at the bar.  The service was quick and friendly.

Monetary Value: This pizza is very expensive, even for a 16" pizza.  Therefore, the value is not the best.

The Final Judgment:

As I carried this pizza up to my hotel room, I kept thinking that this may be the heaviest pizza I have ever carried.  516 Pizza Pub is not for people who want flavorful delicacies, but it is for people who want hearty, robust, filling pizza.  Score: 80/100
