Tasting 3: "Villa Pizza Fresh Italian Kitchen"

We went to the Tanger Outlets today out in Riverhead, and of course we had to try some of the pizza in the food court. They had an italian place called "Villa Pizza... or something. Their sign had a lot of different things on it.

The pizza was...okay. It wound up tasting like someone heated up a frozen pizza- which we're thinking they probably did.

Crust: The crust was way too thin, and it got soggy in places. It was stretched unevenly, with really thin patches *

Sauce: The sauce was actually out favorite part: it was very finely textured and almost runny, but it was nicely tangy. I have to say, though, it wasn't very seasoned- probably could have used so basil or oregano. ***

Cheese: The cheese had no real flavor, and it was greasy. **

Ratios: Not enough crust, too much cheese. **

Bottom Line: As far as we're concerned, it was basically old frozen pizza. About what you'd expect from a mall food court. 7/20 stars

Tasting 2: Generic School Pizza

Hey All!

 Sorry that this is the first post I'm doing but well, the world isn't perfect. So Lunch on Friday at my school is always pizza. I personally really like pizza (and the snacks you can buy with your extra money) so I really like Fridays. Usually, the pizza is Dominos but, for some odd reason that I bet I will never discover, they had generic school pizza that the lunch ladies defrost. Ew.

 Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of said pizza but it actually wasn't that bad. I did however write my review with a sharpie on a napkin (but sadly it got washed with my pants and has shrunken and torn really weirdly). But enough with my yammering, LET'S REVIEW!

 Sauce: Medicore, smooth texture but too sweet *** 

 Cheese: Very good, melty, flavorful, not too greasy ****

 Crust: Thick but soft and pillowy ****

 Ratios: Too much cheese and crust not enough sauce ***

 Bottom line: Not a terrible Pizza, the outside crust I actually liked more than Manhattan Pizza's! Definitely not the ultimate pizza that were searching for but it wasn't the worst pizza I've had during my thirteen years. 14/20 stars

Tasting 1: Manhattan Pizza

For the first tasting of our quest, we tried a plain pie at Manhattan Pizza in Stony Brook, Long Island, New York. You can pretty much assume that all of our pizza will come from places on Long Island, because we're not going on road trips to find pizza.

Before I start, here's out rating system:
No stars = Very bad
* =  Bad
** = Okay
*** = Average
**** = Very Good
***** = Fabulous

Now, on to the pizza

Cheese: The cheese had good flavor, but was nothing spectacular. Regular mozzarella. ***


Crust: It wasn't horrible, but not great. The crust seemed under done; it was chewy and the pizza tended to flop over. It was very thin in the middle, but kind of thick around the edge, which I actually liked better. To be fair, they may have taken the pizza out of the oven a little too soon because we were sitting in the pizzeria waiting for it. **


Sauce: A finely textured tomato sauce. A little sweet, but not a lot of seasoning. We think the sauce could have used some salt and herbs. ***


Ratios: A bit too much cheese, a bit to little sauce. **


Bottom Line: It wasn't a bad pizza, and I wouldn't avoid getting pizza from this place, but it wasn't spectacular. 10/20 stars
