Official Euro Pizza Cafe Review!

It's been a while since I've done a review, as you have no doubt noticed. Well, last weekend we spotted a place that looked like it was worthy. Last night, we went and tried it out.

Unfortunately, I lost my camera somehow, so no pictures. Sorry!

The Place: Euro Pizza Cafe
12645 N Saguaro Blvd # 11
Fountain Hills, AZ 85268
(480) 836-0207

The Pizza: "The Classic" - Pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and hold the onion, thanks.

The Posse: Yours truly, Lady Luck, Baldy-Beard, Bo, and Baby-Bo.

The Crust: Meh. It held the toppings and it didn't make me sick. A solid 1 Crying Lucky.

The Toppings: The cheese was outstanding, and there was lots of it. Other than that, it was pretty unmemorable. They get points for at least tasting fresh. 3 Crying Luckies.

The Sauce: Apparently there was sauce on this pizza, because I saw something red under the cheese, but I sure couldn't taste it. 0 Crying Luckies.

Ambiance: Chic-Strip-Mall. Note that is different than Strip-Mall-Chic. Clean, "ambient" and according to some the view is excellent. There was some non-offensive art on the walls. The view is probably the best reason for going.

The service was absolute crap. We asked the waiter what was good and he couldn't tell us (which was the first red flag). Then he disappeared for half an hour or so. We had to grab a different waitress in order to get more drinks. The food was brought out in the wrong order (The ladies like their salads first, guy), and then dude disappeared again for 45 minutes or so. 1 Crying Lucky because the view of the fountain (of Fountain Hills) was pretty good.

The ride: Definitely the best part. Fountain Hills has plenty of hilly, twisty roads that can easily take you to a restaurant worth going to! 4 Crying Luckies.

Overall impression: Euro Pizza Cafe is the Voivod of pizza places; good enough that you don't walk out and demand your money back, but not so good that you'll want to repeat the experience and bring your friends. Adequate is the word of the day. A generous 2 Crying Luckies (the ride really was quite fun).

I hate to give a place a bad review. It makes me feel kind of rotten, like I'm telling someone they've got a dumb kid with bad breath. Unfortunately, sometimes someone needs to know their kid is dumb and has bad breath. At least then they can do something about it.

After dinner at this place, we agreed that we needed to go to Buono's to make up for it.
