Pizza by Elizabeths

I’ve never once commented on previous reviewers and the reality that they have no meaningful quantity of reviews. Today, I have no choice. If you check the majority of reviews here, most have ten or less. And since there are very few reviews in the first place, you have a handful of inexperienced reviewers essentially destroying a place. PBE is all about creativity from a food point of view. There are no traditional specialty pies for the most part. Any place with fig or filet mignon as a main component in a specialty pie isn’t even Italian. All that being said, I reviewed the most boring pie they have, a three ingredient traditional. Before I break it down, don’t even think about rating a plain pie here. If you order a plain pie here and rate it, you have an agenda to embarrass a hipster restaurant that isn’t remotely pretending to compete with or be like other pizza joints. What’s the point? That being said, having had the goofy, hipster pies here, they are really good. Do yourself a favor and get something off the beaten path. Onward on my three ingredient dough, cheese, sauce pie- Eye test - weak Execution- good but not great. My main issue is ratio, which I’ll get to next, but it is an issue. Baking process slightly above average, however, taste was outstanding. Ratio- certainly too much cheese and sauce, which is rare. Could have backed off on both. Cheese- Just mozz. Fresh and delicious. Neutral with no tang. Great chew Sauce- they have chunky but I ordered traditional ladled sauce with no chunks. Sauce was really good. This was an imperative since the cheese was so neutral. Very little sweetness or spice. And unbelievably delicious. Dough- gluten free and perfect. Phenomenal taste and perfect crunch. I despise gluten free and this was stellar. Gershwin said, “ When I write music, I almost always try to paint a picture.” To summarize, even the specialty pies, which are far superior to the standard, are not world class. This is travel worthy for the experience, ambiance and rich menu. Killer salads by the way. However, the pizza is good not great. If you are traditional, don’t even bother. The point of this place is the fun combos and unusual options. My review comes with zero bias. I couldn’t care less if this place closed tomorrow. However, the other reviews were singularly the dumbest, most absurdly biased reviews I’ve ever seen. And I’ve probably read ten thousand on this app.

This is good date night pizza, but not good enough to include “pizza” in the name of the restaurant. The cheese pizza was just alright. The cheese was pretty average, the sauce was slightly lacking, and the crust was a bit too doughy for how thin it was. The smaller pizza in the back of the photo was better. It had prosciutto, artichoke, and fontina. I’d still recommend coming here on a date night, but order one of the unique pizzas rather than the cheese.

Pizza by Elizabeth is good at making everything except pizza… the food is overpriced due to the location and beautiful interior… making your expectations very high. This all goes down the drain when you eat the “pizza” and taste the dry, flavorless dumpster fire.

Very expensive place. Crab pizza was very good, probably around a 7.5. The regular pizza was not so great.

great flavor, even crisp, delicious date night pizza

The sauce is light and thin but very flavorful. As for the cheese, the fresh sliced mozzarella is the way to go, the regular mozzarella is average at best. There was a fair amount of flop and the crust was a little bland tasting. It’s a good pizza, but definitely over priced at $11 for the smaller size.

if you come here, get the designer flavors dont go traditional. my half crab was awesome probably an 8. but it was more a flatbread than a pizza. the pepperoni was one of the worst I have had. greasy goopy cheese, no crust to speak of. disappointed

Delicious pizza, however I expected more from the crust. It was to grainy

Some Delaware flop but still has crunch. Has very good taste

“The Shannon” fig, prosciutto, blue cheese. Interesting flavors. Wasn’t bad. over priced. Crust was good. Worth a try if you like different takes on pizza. Not a pizza mans pizza tho.

Decent pizza. Small. Overpriced. Zero flop. Flavors good. Sauce good. Ratio adequate
