Pizza sMizza

This finicky freelance pizza/food critique reviews every slice of pizza pie sampled from every pizza parlor, independent or franchise, found while measuring the street of M-town in the western part of Illinois. As of Dec '06, she does Columbus, Ohio. She is contemplating to partner with her best friend, Jack, to open a franchise one day, somewhere. While she is more interested in owning a healthier fast food franchise, she agrees with him that this $34billion industry sh*t is pretty lucrative.

On Sbarro, again: Philly Cheese Steak (stuffed pizza)


Ratings (five stars = best or highest)
Pie crust: ***** (extremely good)
Toppings/stuff: **** (surprisingly tasty!)
Pizza sauce: N/A
Overall: ****1/2 (sinfully yummy!)

I did not sample this pie exclusively; I only took a couple of bites, which is enough to enable me to write this review. At first glance, I thought it was a chicken pie, but that does not make sense because it was placed in the pizza section.

At $3.59 + tax, the pie was pretty large and heavy, about 2" thick, and had such a mouth-watering look. If I have a slice for myself, I think I'll be full for the rest of the day. It was steaming hot when placed in the to-go box. No gooey threads, and the pizza situated itself neatly in the box. No spill, no mess.

The crust was fresh and crispy. The bottom was not burned; it was just right. Sprinkles of sesame seeds and basil flakes dotted the top crust sparingly, making it fragrant and tasty, a pretty effective way to whet your appetite. A great pie crust that deserves 5 stars.

The stuff was loaded with seasoned steak, sauteed onion, red peppers, green peppers, mozzarella and some cheddar. Mild to taste, neither too spicy nor bland, just enough to awaken your senses. Very fullfiling, very tasty, 4 stars for being surprisingly good.

Unlike tomato sauce based pizzas, this one either uses white sauce or no sauce at all. I can't remember tasting pizza sauce, but the bottom part had traces of melted mozzarella.

Overall, a great pizza experience (again!). Sbarro really delivers its promise!
