What was Rocky's is now Hoosier's.

The title refers to "two" Pizza joints on the north side of Bloomington.  The pizza is the same.  I give it a rating of 3cr/2.5ce/3.5ch.  To their bathroom, I crossed the kitchen and piles of Rocky's Pizza boxes.  Much of their staff is the same.  On the Rocky's Pizza boxes, there was a cartoon picture of Rocky as a cowboy.  The old theme was Cowboy, almost without effort.  This is what it looks like now.  Classic Hoosiers.  
Their pizza didn't change at all.  I'll give their crust a 2/5.  It's very dense.  Not enough yeast and not enough kneading.  It might be someone else's bag.  Not mine.  
Their sauce gets a 2/5.  It did the job.  At least they opened a can of "tomato sauce" and stirred in some Italian seasoning.  

Overall quality gets a 3/5.  Even though there's nothing especially good about their pizza, I can tell it was made with some care and deliberation.  This is Bloomington Indiana.  The town where I live.  Most pizza joints put no effort into make their pizzas consistently good.  Most pizza employees are college students who aren't paid fairly and don't care anyway.  If this pizza was made anywhere else, I'd give them a 2/5 for quality.  

Style gets a 1/5.  No number of (2) decorative basketball jerseys will compensate for this pie's complete lack of distinction.  Rocky's at least had the cool western theme and played Bonanza on tv.  Today I was subjected to The Doctors among other atrocities of daytime broadcast television.  I will, however give Hoosier's credit for being a great value.  Their 14" cheese pizza was only $9.25, which is so admirable.  So admirable in fact that you should get one of their pizzas as soon as possible.  

So Rocky's, I mean Hoosier's.  You get a 40%.  Pretty all right in the grand scheme of things.
