Torna's Pizzeria

This is a tale of 2 pizzas. Starting with the traditional pie, pictured on top: extremely basic, no flash, no pizzazz, shockingly generic. I’m not a fan of the dough texture; it’s stiff & flakey, lacking in flavor. While it’s firm & crunchy, it’s more stale than crispy, not too appetizing. The sauce is also surprisingly standard, not very distinct, doesn’t pack much of a punch. The cheese is below average, on par with Pizza Hut & Domino’s. Overall, not terrible, but not worth trying; a completely ordinary 6.7 score. Now to the signature Sicilian pizza pictured on the bottom. MEGA doughy, super soft, fabulously fresh & fluffy, while maintaining a decent crisp around the edges and underneath. Perfectly melted mozzarella is blanketed on top, suffocating the dough, very similar to cheesy bread, with not much sauce beneath. For whatever reason, they like to add the sauce on top as an “extra,” only if you ask for it. This sauce is similar to a light Sunday gravy that you would put on pasta or meatballs, not very hearty, kind of left me flat. Overall, this style is pretty good, yet unspectacular and strangely light & heavy at the same time, a decent 6.9 rating. Certainly worth a try but don’t go too far out of your way. Both styles combined average out to a rather disappointing 6.8 score.
