Pizza from Burano's in Bath

Large (12") The Burano "Specktackular," $18 (Greek olive oil base, Gruyere and mozzarella blend, thin slices of smoked prosciutto (Speck), fire roasted cremini mushrooms, red onions, truffle oil, salt, pepper, oregano and arugula).

Bern's take: 3.7 out of 5 stars. Loved the wood-fired grill, but not enough toppings. Too much arugula. 

Casey's take: 3.5 out of 5 stars: For $18, would have expected full coverage on the pie. See the pic below and how naked it was around the edges (large sections with just crust). Not my favorite flavor profile - next time (there will be a next time) I will order a basic pepperoni. Crust was great, albeit a slight flop in the middle.

Pizza from Durham Get & Go

Small Loaded Pizza, $19.50, approx. 12" (Ground beef, Italian sausage, pepperoni, bacon, ham, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, black olives, cheese and red sauce).

Bern's take: Enjoyed the amount of ingredients, the heavy spices, and enjoyed the crust. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Casey's take: Nearly perfect. Center was a bit wobbly, probably due to the TONS of toppings. Would have liked it slightly more crispy. 4.5 out of 5 stars.

Pizza from Luiggi's in Lewiston

 We tried this place after reading an article about the "30 best pizzas in Maine."

Bern's take on a small (10") White #1 pizza (Olive Oil, Basil, Garlic, Cheese and she added parmesan), $8.25: Solid, a bit bland for being in Downeast's top 30 pizzas in Maine. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Casey's take on a small (10") pepperoni, $9.10:  It was a tale of two pizzas - left half versus the right half (see the pic below). For some reason, most of the cheese and toppings were loaded to the left. The left side was very good, with cheese oozing and pepperoni in every bite. The pepperoni was just the right amount of spicy. The sauce wasn't overly sweet or loaded with sugar like a lot of other pizza sauces. For the left side, it was a solid 4 out of 5 stars. The right side, much more scant in toppings, was still pretty decent. The crust was a bit floppy in the middle (kind of like me) and got crispier toward the edge. The right side of the pizza was still average, or about 2.5 out of 5 stars. I would definitely revisit Luiggi's!
