Eight Street Pizza

Pizza sauce has a little bit of a different flavor. Can’t really describe the spice but unique for sure. Only thing that stands up on this pizza is the edge of the pizza…it is an immediate full slice flop. Even if you fold it it becomes half slice flop. After being spoiled by a Dave Review 9.1 in Boston my expectations are high…have not found that place in California that even begins to compare yet!

They serve up some monster slices here; not novelty big, but huge nonetheless. Unfortunately, this pizza is quantity over quality. Plenty of bang for your buck but you also get what you pay for: disappointingly generic pizza. The dough is soft & floppy, in need of serious crisping. I had to double fold each slice due to the sogginess and California floppage. There seems to be a ton of extra cheese, mainly because after they cook the pie, they add more mozzarella on top and re-bake the pizza. In the end, you get a gigantic, melty & oozy-textured cheesy conglomerate of average taste. The sauce is rather bland, a little Chef Boyardee-esque, with a somewhat canned, weak premade flavor. Some extra spices would definitely liven up the sauce and make it more palatable. Overall, this pizza won’t leave you hungry; but it won’t leave you satisfied either. Even though this scored in the 6s, you have to remember a California 6 is a New York 5. I hoped for a bit better showing from Cali’s capital.

One bite, everybody knows the rules. Solid 6.2 pizza. Nothing fancy nothing flashy here. On par with pizza you’d expect to come out of Sacramento. Highlights are the crust, no flop quality in such a large slice, aside from that, sauce was mediocre and it was just underwhelming.

Great little spot with real ovens and huge slices. The oregano come flying through the line of scrimmage like a Mac Truck while the crispy crust leaves a lasting impression.
