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!
