By the name, you might have figured that Guzzardo's is more of a full
on Italian restaurant than a pizza shop. And you'd be right. Pizzas
are picked up at the back door, while diners have the glamorous
experience of an italian restaurant with huge portions. Our pizza
order was screwed up, somewhat. Instead of a cheese pizza with half
pepperoni and sausage, they put toppings on the whole thing. Oh
well. It had a ratio of 3cr/1ce/4ch*.
I'll give their crust a 3 out of 5. It was quite crusty, bubbling
somewhat at the bottom where the dough soaked up a floury coating. It
could have used more of a knead, but I found it enjoyable. And there
was an adequate presence of goo where the dough met the sauce and
cheese.
It's possible that most of the sauce absorbed itself into the dough,
as there didn't seem to be much of it on the pizza. Lucky for me, our
side of red sauce was huge. I should have taken a picture of it. The
sauce gets a 4 out of 5. It was rich, long-roasted, with an abundance
of oregano and marjoram.
For style, I'll give Guzzardo's a 4 out of 5. I do like how they gave
us such a huge side of red sauce. Also, I like the idea of getting
pizza at an italian restaurant, with a genuine italian feel. The pie
hits that sweet spot between rustic and sloppy, wonderfully
decadent. I imagine none of their pizzas are exactly the same, whether
made for love or made for the cooks to get the ticket out of their
faces. Who knows? That being said, I'll give this pie a score of 4 out
of 5 for overall quality, with a final score of 75%.
