Everyone Goes to Pizza Joe's!

The first stop on my #26 goal, Eat the Best Pizza I can find, was Pizza Joe’s, because of course everyone goes to Pizza Joe’s! It’s a sentimental first stop, holding a dear place in my heart from many slices consumed while a college student at Westminster. It was on my personal list as a maybe to try, but after Chris Borsani made a strong case for Pizza Joe’s I had to include it.

So! Amy and I gave it a whirl a couple weeks ago! We decided to lay the ground rules before we dug in. I mean after all, this is serious business trying to find the best pizza! So the first rule of the pizza search is that the pizza choice must come from the specialty pizza list. A cheese pizza over and over doesn’t do the search justice and a pie from the specialty list has to be worthy, right? From Pizza Joe’s we selected a large, triple cheese and bacon pizza (thankfully our hearts are still ticking after this one!). Then we built a ratings scale, 1=Not Good, 5=Delicioso!. The categories are Sauce, Cheese, Toppings, Crust, Overall, Additions. So with that all set, we watched the Packers tear apart another team and dug into our Pizza Joe’s Triple Bacon and Cheese Specialty Pizza! And below, are the findings for this first stop on #26: Eat the Best Pizza I can Find

Sauce=3  

Cheese=4 

Toppings=4

Crust=4

Overall=3

Additions (Cheesy Dipping Sticks with Marinara)=4.5

Thus Pizza Joe’s received a 22.5 out of a possible 30 points. It was a good pizza but I don’t think #26 is knocked off my list quite yet! Next stop….not sure yet! To Be Continued… :)
