It’s not a good sign when you’re holding a pizza box with a hot & fresh pie inside and it doesn’t smell delicious; it’s even worse when it doesn’t taste very good either. When you skimp on the sauce, it makes it very difficult to give out a good score. Aside from the grease, this is a “Sahara pie,” way too dry due to lack of sauce. The cheese is gooey from the oil but also way too thick and chunky; without enough sauce to balance it out, it’s just too overpowering. The dough is surprisingly firm with solid crisp, including the crust which is light, airy, and very crispy, just completely void of flavor. I’m not sure if adding more sauce will do much for this pie; could be a lost cause. I could have rated even lower but this is a more than fair score.
