Picture of the Month: October 2023

 

Pizza from Flight Deck Brewing in Brunswick, ME

Today we tried two pies. One was dubbed the "Barrel Roll," which was touted as garlic breadstick pizza; garlic olive oil, garlic, mozzarella and a sprinkle of brown sugar ($16). The other was "Flying Dirty," and was pepperoni with hot honey and red sauce with parmesan on top ($20).

Bern: Barrel Roll (9.5/10). Perfect amount of brown sugar, different taste palette. Loved it! Flying Dirty (9/10). Perfect grease level with large parmesan pieces. 

Casey: Barrel Roll (1 out of 5). Possibly the worst flavor in a pizza and the "sprinkle of brown sugar" felt like the only thing I could taste. Yuck. Flying Dirty (3 out of 5). Nothing wrong with the taste, but would have liked more toppings and my pet peeve of "center loading" a pizza to find too much naked crust was realized. Overall, would not visit FDB regularly for the pizza.

Bekah: Barrel Roll (2/10). Let's take delicious garlic bread and put a flavor that does not complement it on any level. Flying Dirty (5/10). The honey would have worked if it was spiced honey, but not that well. Good grease level. 

Pizza from Maine Beer Company in Freeport

Pepperoni, 12" ($16)

Bern's Take: 4.2/5: Good crust, good amount of cheese and ingredients. Could have used more cheese. Pretty solid pizza.

Casey's Take: 4/5: Solid pizza. Only fatal flaw is that all of the ingredients are "center-loaded," so nearly 1/3 or 1/2 of the slice is just crust with sauce (see pic below). Nice touch of oregano.
