Pizza Critique

Imagine the feeling when you crave your favorite food. Maybe it is a burger, french fries, or ice cream cake. When you get that craving you are probably thinking of any way you can obtain that food, and as fast as you can. There are probably about ten places where you can get the food you are craving at a moments notice, but you always have your go to spot to get it. The point is, there are many places to go to get the same exact food, but all restaurants prepare food all a little differently so they have different tastes. In class, we tried three different kinds of cheese pizza to compare the taste of them. The particular kinds of pizza we tried in class were pre made crust pizza, frozen  pizza, and homemade pizza

First of all, I am going to talk about the pizza made using a pre-made crust. Going into eating it, I definitely had my doubts about how the crust would taste because it is from the store. My doubts were verified when I actually tasted the pizza. I thought it was very dry and hard to chew, almost like how I would imagine cardboard to taste. Not only did the tough texture throw me off, but right when I bit into it I could immediately taste just a wave of saltiness almost like I was eating a pizza with a potato chip crust. The crust was not the only bad part about this pizza though. The barely cooked cheese on top was not only an eye sore, but also tasted like a mushy bland mess. I prefer my pizza with almost burnt cheese, so this was a totally new experience for me. I would rate this pizza a 1 out of 5.

Next, I am going to talk about the frozen pizza. Right when I saw this pizza I thought it didn't look like it just came out of a plastic wrapping, and actually looked pretty good. When I took my first bite, the grease on top of the pizza was the only thing I could taste. It was so overpowering, I could not even tell that I was eating pizza. Next, the crust was really crisp, which I normally would like except this pizza had so much grease it was almost leaking onto the crust and making it hard to eat. I thought that the pizza was perfectly cooked, I just wished it was any other kind of pizza than a frozen one. I would rate this pizza a 2 out of 5.

Lastly,  I am going to review the home made white crust pizza. This pizza was by far my favorite out of the three. The thick, spongy crust made me want to keep going back for more. My favorite part of the pizza though was the smell. It smelled all natural and was not like something you could find at any old grocery store. The taste of the pizza itself was rich and warm, but the only bad thing I would have to say about this pizza was there was maybe a little too much salt in the crust. The golden color on top was just the icing on the cake which is why I give this pizza a 4 out of 5.

In conclusion, you can see how there are so many differences between each of the three pizzas even though they are the same type of food. This critique shows how even though you might think  there are so many restaurants with the same food, they are all very different and have their own distinct taste. Some good and others bad.
