There are two kinds of pizza places in this world. Those that make sure they slice all the way through the crust when they are cutting it and the rat bastards from hell that leave you to tear your slices apart in horrified disgust at the mounting possibility of mutilating your piece into a gooey rorshach of cheese, crust and sauce.
Pizzaworld, sadly, falls into the latter category.
I'll come back to this in a minute. First, the review.
This place just opened a few weeks ago down the street from my office and I decided that I hadn't had enough arterial clogging to justify my short 34 years of existence so I stopped in today to sample the goods and see how they compare to some of the other pies in town.
Oh man. Where to start .... while I love a good open kitchen concept in a restaurant, when the employees are singing an talking at the top of their lungs, it makes it REALLY hard for the cashier to take an accurate order. I had to repeat myself from the beginning 3 times before she got it and it still came out wrong. I wanted to be mad at her, but after watching a kid belt out his best karaoke version of Bruno Mar's 'Uptown Funk', (Hot Damn!) I have to level the fault on management and their hiring practices. Unless, of course, the lady taking my order was the manager. in which case, screw you.
The food came out in a timely manner at least and while I had ordered the garlic bread, Justin Bieber Jr. apparently knew what I wanted to eat better than I did and sent out the cheese bread in its place. It wasn't terrible, thankfully and was probably the best part of my meal. While I was waiting for the food, I tried the tea and it was overly watered down and just tasted like a mouthful of disappointment. Two sips had me switching to Dr. Pepper with the quickness.
*side rant*
Why is it so hard for people to nail a good iced tea? It shouldn't taste like water. It should have nice, strong bitterness to it and no weird after tastes from forgetting to wash out the machine the night before.
Anyway, the pizza comes out and they have committed the cardinal sin of pizza making. PLEASE make sure to cut the damn thing all the way through before you send it out. If I have to try and pull apart pieces because you couldn't be bother to take an extra five seconds to press a little harder on the pizza cutter, I'm going to get angry. When none of the cuts have gone through, I'm going to pitch a fit. On Yelp.
Once I had managed to get a vaguely pizza shaped piece of something removed from my 'pizza' circle, I had a chance to taste it. The crust was spot on. Nice and crispy. The sauce was overly sweet for my tastes and I wasn't a big fan of the cheese. These are just personal tastes though. Your experience may be different. I'm one of those weird people that loves Imo's so take that all with a grain of salt.
Overall, I had more of an issue with the maturity of the staff, or lack thereof, than the food itself. If they could fix that, they would be a solid 7/10. With the issues I had today, I'd put them at a 3. read more
