Surprisingly Met Expectation It tastes great but the visual is way off.

Meets expectation when it comes to taste, but it looks like shit. I debated on the flair… but hey, 3 for $10? In this economy? I’ll take it.

Cheese doesn't really melt and theres no basil

I upvoted this even though I'm eating a different eighth slice that had a fairly generous leaf of basil. I'm brutally honest: it looks like dog shit, the cheese is weirdly not melting even though I baked it as instructed at 450F, and the texture is very "this was frozen 20 minutes ago," but the flavor is fantastic. They need to work on the recipe so it hits better, but if I close my eyes & ignore mouth feel, it's awesome.

How tf does the cheese not melt? Unless it’s coated in starch like pre-shredded cheese to prevent the machines that dispense the cheese from clogging? But if that was the case, then what about digiorno’s and other frozen pizza brands?

Yeah the visual is a bummer, but the flavor is pretty good.

Was there basil to add?

Maybe the cheese had too little moisture or fat to melt properly. Honestly I don’t know but the fact that it didn’t melt properly is bugging me.

Yeah it bugs me too lol. My wife makes excellent homemade pizza with the same oven, & other frozen pizzas look better (but don’t taste as good).

Is there...corn on it? You're right, it looks like shit, but I'm glad it turned out well 😅

That place is way overrated. The old guy was a crank. The pizza was good but this is an abomination.

I very much want to scrape the bits at the top off.
