Dr Pizza

Pizza is really a matter of preference and Dr. Pizza just doesn't quite do it for me. This isn't bad pizza; it's just not my favorite. I should note that even though the pizza is pretty average to me, my family is a big fan.

A lot of the time, Dr. Pizza appears like a beacon of light after a long vacation or a day out of town because it's located on the exact route we often take to get home. On nights like that when it's 10 PM and we're starving for dinner, this pizza tastes like a comforting, delicious bite of home. The crust is kind of yeasty and heavy and the seasoning in the sauce rubs me the wrong way (and always seems to get stuck in my teeth). But sometimes, it's just what the doctor ordered.

Even if I don't go wild for this pizza, it is not bad pizza. The price is right. The hours are right. The location is right. As a result, I will continue to be an every-once-in-a-while customer here.

It is what it is.

The pizza at Dr. Pizza is bready and heavy.  Have no doubt, you are FILLED UP after just a couple of slices.  It's probably the perfect pizza to eat in preparation for a big night of drinking (or after one).  But that said, there is no verve or innovation to this pizza.  It's very standard.  Just bready and heavy.  Nothing to write home about.

The experience of placing an order at Dr. Pizza is interesting.  There's all this...stuff stacked to the right of the counter where you order.  Stuff like ferns and old chairs and bikes and a broken ATM.  (It's like somebody's using the entrance to Dr. Pizza as overflow from their garage.)  Also, the guys who work there look about 15.

But in conclusion, while I wouldn't make a point to seek this place out, if you're in the area anyway and need something to quell that ranging hangover, the doctor has got what you need.

The service at Dr. Pizza was prompt, ordered my pizza and was out within minutes. On a side note, the place wasn't really swarming with customers...perhaps because it was a Wednesday night?

I ordered the "daily special", which at the time equated to two slices of pizza and a soda for $5.  "Not bad" was my thinking before I opened my box and took a peek inside. The taste of the pizza was decent, for the price, but I don't particularly like my pizza looking pale aka undercooked. I had about three bites and was done.  Maybe the ovens need to be replaced? Perhaps there's a new chef in town? I am willing to give this place another shot but will probably have to specify that I like my pizza a little more brown in color..
