Blue Springs Pizza of Orange City Florida

Blue Springs Pizza. If you live in the area, it's likely you've Always wanted to go there. And it's a nice, somewhat homely spot. I very much appreciated the presence of plastic grapes in the drink station. However, the restaurant was just as warm as the outside (eighty degrees in november), and the dining room smelled more like a public restroom than a restaurant.

We'll expand on that later. The pizza had a Ratio of 1.5cr/1.5ce/1.5ch*, with individual slices for sale Just Like almost every pizza joint east of Atlanta. The dough gets a 3 out of 5. It was acceptable, but somewhat dry and bready. And much of the flour coating failed to burn off. I'd say it was under-kneaded, under-proofed, and cooked at too low of a temperature. Blue Springs Pizza's sauce also gets a 3 out of 5. No complaints, but nothing special.

For style, I give Blue Springs Pizza a 4 out of 5. It's my kind of joint for sure, with great service. However, the pizza doesn't stand out much. Despite my taste in dough, I do give Blue Springs Pizza a 4 out of 5 for quality. The pizza was well put together, and overall very satisfying. With an overall score of 70%, I wouldn't bring my visiting friends to Blue Springs Pizza, but I'd visit again after I've made my rounds.

* Let me explain my ratio system, regarding mass of standard Pizza Elements. Cr=Crust. Ce=Sauce. Ch=Cheese.

For CR (CRust), 1 is the equivalent of a transparent pizza in the New York style, or the rolled-out, crackery Saint Louis style. 3 would be a regular Domino's hand-tossed Pizza. 4 would be like a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza, and 5 would be like a Sicilian Pizza or some varieties of Deep Dish.

For Ce (sauCE), 1 would be a watery sauce with a thin spreading, no clumping and no oozing. In this cause, the sauce is an afterthought, more like oregano than a key ingredient. 3 would be what you'd expect from a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza. 5 would require a fork to eat.

For CH (CHeese), 1 would be a transparent layer, mostly existing to assure you that your pizza indeed Does have cheese on it. 3 would be a regular Domino's hand-tossed pizza. 4 would be what you get on a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza.
