> 8.0 = Travel 1 to 3 hours for the pizza. This is Local Legend Pizza
> 7.0 = Local pizza that is a go-to. Very good pizza.
> 6.0 = If you’re already there then you go for it. It’s not a bad pie but you’re not going out of your way for it.
< 5.9 = Worsening levels of MEH. Gas station heat lamp to school lunch lady pizza. You’ll feel the dead weight in you. Hard pass (pun intended).

My Review:
Pizza arrived quickly, fresh and hot. Cheese is thick but didn’t drag off the bed, until I took a bite. When I did, a huge chunk of cheese came sliding off. Ugh.
The undercarriage is unimpressive and the flop was a lot - on the first hot slice. The second slice had very little flop as the slice was cooler.
The crust is nothing to brag about. A little doughy which is fine, but just bland. The bread is just bland.
Third slice, ZERO flop. No cheese pull. Made it easier to eat but says a lot about the cheese choice. It cools and hardens pretty fast. I can’t imagine what cold leftovers would be like with this pie.
Sauce is ok. It’s not bad and it’s not magical. It’s just sauce.
Look, I get it. This isn’t meant to be some “gourmet” pie, and this IS a brewery (which is a GREAT brewery, a GREAT environment and atmosphere) but that doesn’t mean it should be a cheap pie.
This is not a go-to pizza. It’s good, but not OMG I GOTTA HAVE IT!
Bonus points for atmosphere, great beer, quick polite service. Those points bump this up to a 6.8
