Southgate Pizza East - "White Pizza" w/Chicken, Tomato, Onion


Price at Purchase: $10.50 + tax
Size/Diameter/Slices: Medium / 12"/8
Description: Medium "white pizza" with chicken, tomato, and onion
What We Liked:  To be honest, we liked almost everything about this pizza.  Not only was the freshly made dough consistent and flavorful, all the ingredients really popped.  I first noticed how much cheese there was, which I enjoyed.  The tomatoes and onions tasted very good, were fresh, and again complemented the rest of the pizza.  The chicken was fully cooked, but still tender.  We would comment on the "white pizza" aspect here, but we can't...which leads me into the next section...
What We Didn’t Like: Unfortunately...this wasn't a white pizza!  Traditionally a white pizza is devoid of pizza sauce, and has a good amount of olive oil, salt, and herbs.  There was definitely pizza sauce here, and we didn't notice any additional herbs sprinkled on the top.  Jen had wished she added some fresh basil to the pizza before we started eating it as she thought it would've complemented the other toppings nicely.
Overall:  After a pretty great first experience with Southgate, we were looking forward to trying another one of their pizzas.  Even though what we got wasn't quite what we ordered, we were both thoroughly impressed with the taste.  Since they made a mistake with our order, we stumbled upon another great pizza to purchase in the future!  The first time around we noted the relatively high price vs. the amount of toppings on the pie.  For this review, the quality of the pizza seemed to match the price point.  Well done Southgate.

Lucchetti's - Custom Order Review

  Price at Purchase: $14.30 including tax Size/Diameter/Slices: Medium / 12"/8 Description: Medium pizza with 1/2 meatballs and green peppers; 1/2 sausage and onions What We Liked:   We were pretty impressed with this restaurant. The service was great, especially considering we placed this order on a holiday when most other local pizzerias were closed. The crust was made with fresh dough and the vegetables were also fresh (not pre-cooked). The sausage was a bit spicy (this is a good thing in my opinion) and the meatballs are homemade. There were a lot of toppings on the pizza and the sauce was very tomato-ey. What We Didn’t Like:  The crust on the pizza is a bit on the thin and crispy side, which was very good, but a little too crispy for my taste. We ordered a two-topping pizza; however, since we split the pizza in half (two different toppings on each side), we're pretty sure they charged us for four toppings instead. The guy working mentioned they would be comi

Barbato's - Chicken Bruschetta Review

Price at Purchase: $10.95 + tax Size/Diameter/Slices: Medium / 12"/8 Description: Medium pizza with chicken, tomatoes, mozzarella, and butter garlic sauce What We Liked:   It was nice to try something different, as our usual orders consist of supremes and custom orders with sausage and pepperoni. This pizza had plenty of cheese, chicken and tomatoes and tons of flavor from the buttery/garlicky sauce. The tomatoes were fresh, the grilled chicken was tender and the crust was soft and chewy and crispy on the outside (fresh dough). What We Didn’t Like:  I tricked myself into believing this would be a healthier version of the pizzas we typically order... not the case. This pizza was super greasy from the excess butter & garlic sauce. It tasted great, sure, but it was literally dripping with butter. I chose the patented napkin-dabbing method in order to minimize my fat/calorie consumption for the day, but not sure how much it helped. Overall:   We also ordered this ve
