With a ratio of 2cr/3ce/4ch, we'll start with the good news. I give La Brasca's sauce a 5 out of 5. It is rich, thick, and sweet, tasting like the pizza of my childhood dreams. Like Show Biz pizza but better.
For style, I give La Brasca's a 4 out of 5. It's a no-frills, cozy place. Seat yourself in a very old booth with leather apolstry. Drink unlimited refills from a styrofoam cup with puffy ice. Get yourself a free side of Pizza Sauce with your pizza. And the pizza certainly has its own style while conforming to the acceptable format of dough, red sauce, and melted mozzarella. However, this isn't Florida. La Brasca's doesn't stand out much among other pizzas of middle america.
Now for the bad news. La Brasca's dough gets a 2 out of 5. Their crust is far too dense for the amount of sauce and cheese on it. In fact, everything fell off my first slice. If the dough had more yeast and more proofing, it would be fluffy and work for the fork eaters among us, bringing that 2cr ratio up to a proper 3 or 4. As is, the pie is difficult to eat. The dough doesn't taste as bad as a frozen pizza, but it has a similar texture. There were also some spots of burnt residue on the bottom which didn't taste good.
For overall quality, I give La Brasca's a 4 out of 5. It did taste very good all together, and I feel like I needed to bump up this score since I was a little harsh on the dough. I'm going to eat some cold slices for breakfast and I bet with the sauce and cheese cooled and properly coagulated, it'll be a glorious experience.
With a final score of 75%, I'd definitely recommend La Brasca's to anyone who wants the taste of down home South Carolina Pizza. I don't know what else the state is known for, foodwise. It seems like Georgia got all the cultural credit in that department. But I digress. I don't care how cool you are. You're not too cool for La Brasca's Pizza of South Carolina.
