Restaurant Review - 8 1/2

Yes 8 1/2 is the name of the Restaurant. It is on Strawberry Street next to the Cafe and the Market. This is mostly a take out only restaurant even though they have a couple chairs and tv and movies if you are waiting. Marie and I were in the mood for some pizza and I had recently seen there pizza displayed in the Richmond Magazine. They were being compared to Pizza Hut Thin Crust. So I suggested we order for 8.5 to get an idea on what they are like even though we always order Papa Johns online and have it delivered. So I ordered over the phone a half Italian Sausage half Mushroom with extra Cheese over the whole pizza. I asked for a large thin and crispy and he said they only come in one size, so I said okay. The pizza is about the size of a small/medium. I will give them the fact that the pizza was crispy and the sausage did have some flavor to them b/c they were big. But for the most part it tasted most of crust and not toppings and cheese or sauce. It was pretty greasy as well, enough to soak the bottom of the box pretty well. Marie thinks it was horrible and have a funny smell. I thought it was just blah and could use more toppings, cheese, sauce, more flavor, less grease. We paid around 8 or 9 dollars but really it was a 4 dollar pizza. Needless to say we won't be ordering the pizza again but I will try something else on the menu to see if it is just the pizza that needs new ingredients. This will get !!! out of 10!
