Pizza from Monte's Fine Foods in Portland, ME

Basic Pepperoni, 14" for $23.

Casey: 5/5. Perfection. Wouldn't change anything. Tangy sauce, tons of flavorful roni. 
Bern: 9.5/10. Perfect sauce, lots of roni, fresh mozzarella. Delicious!

Picture of the Month: March 2024



 

Pizza from Pizza Villa in Portland, ME

Casey: 3/5. Not bad, more of a frozen pizza vibe. Better sauce coverage would have upped the score, but nothing to write home about.

Bern: 6/10. No flavor. Crust was just okay. Not enough sauce.


 

Pizza from Pizzaiolo in Portland, ME

 ~$5 per generous slice... 

Casey: Roni, 4/5. Nearly perfect, but suffered from my pet peeve of too much crust/toppings ratio. Crispy crust, flavorful.

Bern: Buffalo Chicken, 8/10. Lots of toppings, good crust, spicy, huge slice.

Pizza from Coals in Portland, ME

Dean Martin ($18): fontinella, fresh mozzarella, tomato, pepperoni, pecorino

Casey: 5/5. Perfection! Thin crust, three cheeses, large ronis. Flavor galore. 

Bern: 9.6/10. Love the real sauce, perfect char. Not usually a fan of thin crust, but would recommend. 



Pizza from Slab in Porltand, ME

In Gordon Ramsey's best voice, "It's fucking RAW!"


pepperoni slab: tomato sauce, mozzarella, provolone, oregano, pepperoni ($11)

Casey: 1/5. Absolutely raw in the center due to the thick crust; this was chewy, not crunchy. Gross. Ended up scraping the toppings off, which were okay. Would not return.

Bern: 1/5. Too doughy. Too sweet. Not very flavorful. Kind of gross.
