Newark, OH
The first official Peetz Police review! This particular establishment was brought to our attention under very positive pretenses. A Newark tradition for quality pie, this had to be a stop on our Peetz Police peetz-capades. Onto the breakdown.
Service: We had to wait about an hour for this pie, dining in. This pie definitely had some hype! But...the people were very friendly and made our wait very pleasurable.
Environment: This restaurant was very homey. The scent of the peps cooking could smelled from the parking lot, and could convert a vegan to a raging pizzaholic!!! The interior was filled with fabulous pizza paraphernalia...pizza Christmas lights, a pizza clock (whoa!), pizza paintings, and the pizza oven was in plain sight! Everything was prepared right in front of us and the lady chefs weren't afraid to give you a glance. Although we were the only ones eating in, there were plenty of people there waiting to pick up their peetz.
Crust: The base of all peetz. This was the biggest disappointment for the Peetz Police. The Plaza Pizza crust was brittle, flaky, and thin, utterly without flavor. Don't get us wrong, a thin crusted pizza can be great! This one just didn't quite cut it. Not much to hold on to, but messy hands aren't always a huge deal.
Sauce: Tangy, but enjoyable. These people know how to sauce a pie, putting just about the perfect amount on each and every piece! Can you believe it?? We barely could!
Cheese: Nothing to brag about. Not bad, but certainly didn't stand out. This cheese fell apart a bit too easily, what's with that!? Not a terrible flavor though, so don't let us scare you.
Peps: Plentiful, although lacking in crispness. They didn't cup like we hoped, and weren't spiced to our taste. They provided a thin layer of grease, not overwhelming. It was edge to edge, which has its pros and cons.
Value: $11 for a 15 inch single topping pie. Incredible! Don't let this fool you though, because it's not the most filling pie. We put the cuffs on two pies between three hungry police. $0.50 sodas, in high variety, will keep us going back though! Seriously, every type of soda you could ever imagine all for just half a dollar. Red cream soda, bizznatch!
Overall: With all the hype, we were slightly disappointed. By all means, not a terrible pie but not really worth an hour wait. Tasted like something that could be made at home, but a pretty good value overall. This is a bronze badge pie, something for the rookie.
