We tried a place called "Sauce" that Bo had heard about. I can't find anything about them on the web, so for the time being I'm going to assume they're non-corporate (surprising, because they had a very polished and target-marketed vibe).
Anyway, on to the review!
The Place: Sauce
Off of Baseline and Val Vista in Mesa, AZ. Sorry folks, I can't find a listing for them ANYWHERE. When I finally see one I'll update this.
The Posse: Lady Luck, Baldy-Beard, Bo, Baby-Bo and your charming host.
The Pie: Pepperoni and Crimini Mushrooms.
The Crust: It was sort of a flatbread kinda thing. I dunno. It didn't take away from the pizza, and the crispy edges were a delight. 3 Crying Luckies
The Toppings: Hot damn! The cheese was freaking great, the pepperoni was thoroughly acceptable, and the crimini mushrooms were meaty and flavorful. 4 Crying Luckies
The Sauce: There was actually enough sauce on this pizza to notice it! That's one small step for mankind, but one giant leap for pizzerias in Arizona. Alas, the sauce was only adequate. Although noticeable, it didn't distinctly add or detract from the pizza. 3 Crying Luckies
The Ambiance: Ever been to Pei Wei? Like that, only with pizza and less oriental decorations. There were fake brick walls, and cruddy "hip" furniture. That said, the soda fountain was delightful. It made a great sound as the soda was being dispensed. The perfect ssshhhhhhht noise. It was like my own white noise sugar water machine. 1 Crying Lucky
The ride: Better than being in a car at least. We had a great time trying to find the place, as it was in a fancy strip mall. I think we rode past it 4 times, all told. 1 Crying Lucky
Overall: I would go back. The pizza was mighty fine, and nothing about the place screamed "STAY AWAY." 3.5 Crying Luckies overall
