Verdict

Scout's Staple 14 Inch $22

Sauce: The red sauce was decent, but nothing outstanding. On the Combine, it might have been the best white sauced pizza that I’ve ever had.

Cheese: A little light on the cheese, paired with a lot of the other places.

Crust: The crust was floppy and a bit thin per my tastes.

Toppings: The toppings were burnt on some of the pizzas, however, they are plentiful.

Final thoughts: The place has a great bar atmosphere, paired with a college town, makes for a great time watching the game. The pizza isn’t very filling to plan on eating quite a few slices before heading home. I loved the Combine, its unique taste complement made it a distinct winner for this attempt. The Bacon/Ham paired with honey, make it just worth a try.
