Verdict
Scout's Staple 14 Inch $22 |
Cheese: A
little light on the cheese, paired with a lot of the other places.
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. Taco 14 Inch, $24
